ATE Test Development and Debugging with ActivATE™

Engineering test development and debug has never been easier. The ActivATE development environment follows the familiar Microsoft look-and-feel, making it intuitive and easy to use. Test engineers will appreciate the drop-down list box for APIs names, parameter completion, and tool-tip help.

A fully integrated development environment (IDE) provides excellent feedback to the user. A built-in debugger allows the test engineer to stop on any test, step over code, step into code, view and modify variables, and much more.

Test sequencer views and test node properties give the test developer excellent control over the test program. Security levels, such as “technician” or “operator”, will hide some of this functionality but still displays views into the test progress.

Although ActivATE can use any COM dll or .NET dll “as-is”, Microsoft Visual Studio templates will allow the test engineer to rapidly build drivers and add-in modules with considerable functionality.

The driver and Add-in templates will give developers excellent “out-of-the-box” functionality including: Command / Query Trace Commands Debug to Trace files Auto Initialization Event Notification Configuration management
