3 Open COTS Solution Architecture This presentation provides an overview of how various tools, including National Instruments (NI) TestStand, LabWindows CVI, LabVIEW, DSI express and Spherea newwavex can be integrated to support the UK MoD s Open COTS Solution Architecture (OSA). Included is an insight into the OSA-RTS (Open Source Run Time Software). This integrates Test Description with TestStand (and other tools), on a variety of Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) implementations, to provide a TPS process for creating and running test programs using standards with IEEE1641 compatible Signal Descriptions.

4 What is an OSA ATS? OSA - Open Systems Architecture - comprises Reference Model showing typical ATS components and key interfaces Set of standards required to satisfy each interface Reference Model - for visualising interfaces Standardised interfaces allows interoperability Not essential to use all interfaces identified but those used must be compliant MoD OSA similar to DoD ATS Framework TPS Test Requirement UUT ATE Adapter Instrument Switch ATS Configuration ATE Test Requirement Test Program UUT Specific Test Adapter Description Test Adapter Description Instrument Description Switch Description ATS Configuration Program Development Environment Diagnostics Diagnostic Static Diagnostic ATS Development Environment Executable Program ATS Description Instruments Instruments & Switch Diagnostic Reasoner Dynamic Diagnostic ATS Controller Instrument Signal Instrument (low-level) Drivers Test Result Switching & Wiring Upload/ Download Ctrl & UUT Signals UUT 17 Maintenance Test Result Test Configuration Session Test Results UUT Upload/Download I/F Test Adapter Test Adapter TPS Configuration & Quality Records Operator Upload/ Download 16 UUT Signals UUT UUT UUT

5 What is IEEE Std Automatic Test Markup Language A suite of XML standards Supporting information interchange IEEE 1671 for exchanging Automatic Test Equipment and Test Information via XML IEEE Test Description IEEE Instrument Description IEEE UUT Description IEEE Test Configuration IEEE Test Adaptor IEEE Test Station

6 Why are these standards needed? Provides system independent test definitions Portable between compliant systems Simplifies re-host when ATS reaches end-of-life Facilitates information transfer Common information exchange format using XML Simplifies exchange of test & diagnostic information Results saved in common format but may be printed or displayed in any required style.

7 Benefits A standard XML exchange format for sharing information between ATS components Supports test program, test asset and UUT interoperability System and TPS interoperability TPS portability Simplified re-host Clearer understanding of ATS requirements (Procurement) Greater interoperability of European and US equipment More competition due to use and design of new tools and processes In Short - it reduces the Through Life Support Costs

8 Open System Architecture Runtime System (OSA RTS) Overview Solutions supporting the Open System Architecture - particularly (IEEE Std 1671) and 1641 (IEEE Std 1641) - offer significant through-life cost savings. Implementations that utilise 1641 and are varied in software architecture for both TPS & ATS; several different vendors products are included in the OSA-RTS. A number of and 1641 COTS tools are available and systems have been built from these COTS tools that bring with 1641 compliance to existing ATS Architectures. These capitalise on the investment made in these existing run-time tools, configuration data and training. The OSA-RTS is a collection of open source components that allow test standards to be integrated into a ATS architectures. Reduces Entry Costs

9 Open System Architecture RunTime System

10 Overview - Introduction The Open System Architecture Runtime System (OSA-RTS) provides a common framework of shared ATS components that implement solutions for translating s Test Descriptions and Test Equipment Descriptions into run-able test programs. The current OSA-RTS framework has been designed for the C, C++ and C# textual programming languages and utilises LabWindows / CVI. The OSA-RTS framework has been recently extended to also utilise the LabVIEW environment providing runtime signal support through Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) using Dynamic Dispatch to route operations to instrument VIs. 10
