NAMS Platform Networked Automated Measuring System Norman Wayne Karo CS446 Project December 2, 1998
Manufacturing Environment Networked Computers Unfriendly Test Stations Rack Mount Test Equipment GPIB Controlled Low Volume Electronic Components & Instruments Human Interaction Lowest Cost Solution Engineers Testing is NOT Sexy Dislike Programming The Test Environment
What is the NAMS Platform? • Software Platform • Generalized Functions • Common Interface • Routine I/O Functions • Common Database • Basic Test Flow Control • Data Analysis Tools
Why such a platform? • Reduce Test $tation De$ign Cycle Time • Engineers Concentrate on Tests • Code Reusability • Architecture Separates Functions • Common Code included in Platform • Simpler Analysis of Test Code
Furthering the Project • Requirements Document • Bad Project Management • Architecture • High Level Design • Series of Incomplete Models • Prototypes • Network Service • View Test or Analysis Tool as a Service
