The Environment

PAWS Developer's Studio gives you the capability to edit, compile, modify, debug, document, execute, and simulate the test procedures developed in Abbreviated Test Language for All Systems (ATLAS) in the Windows NT/2000/XP Platform environment. PAWS supports a full range of the most commonly used ATLAS Language subsets. A PAWS Toolkit can modify the ATLAS Language subset to meet a particular Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) configuration. Its output can be executed on the associated Debugging PAWS/RTS run-time system or can be translated to run on your unique run-time system.

Creation of a PAWS project typically consists of three main steps:

Prepare the PAWS environment

Connect to the instrument driver

Prepare the run-time system environment and run the project

Example Requirements

TYX PAWS Studio 1.34.6

Microsoft Visual Studio

Agilent 34401A IVI-COM, Version 1.1.0.11, March 2006 (from Agilent Technologies)

Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.2

Download and Install the Driver

If you have not already installed the driver, go to the vendor Web site and follow the instructions to download and install it. You can also refer to Chapter 1, Download and Install IVI Drivers, for instructions.

This example uses an IVI-COM driver. PAWS supports both IVI-COM and IVI-C drivers.

Note: If you do not install the appropriate instrument driver, the project will not build because the referenced files are not included in the program. If you need to
