Lesson 3 – TIA Test Method Programming and Test Execution
499
3-1 Test Method Flow
The test execution of TIA tests and the result retrieval have to be
done with test methods. SmarTest does not provide standard
testfunctions for TIA tests.
The concept of test methods, their structure, the various APIs, and
how to write, execute and debug a test method have been covered
in Unit 6 of this training. This lesson concentrates on the specifics
of test methods for TIA tests.
The basic flow of a test method that performs a TIA test is the
same for all TIA tests. It consists of the following elements:
• Setting up the TIA parameters and the routing.
This can be done in the test method, but is normally done
with the Analog Setup Tools and the Routing Setup Tool.
Later on in this lesson, and in the TIA labs, you will see an example
of how to make parameter and routing definitions directly in the
test method. This training, however, mainly concentrates on the
TIA test setup with the setup tools of SmarTest.
• Defining the primary routing set for the test.
Unlike the other primary sets, the primary routing set is not
defined in the test suite. It must be specified in the test method.
• Enabling the TIA inputs.
• Executing the test.
• Retrieving the test results.
The following figure shows the test method flow in more detail:
