Courses

6004
PAWS TPS Users Course

Designed for individuals who require hands-on experience developing Test Program Sets (TPSs) using PAWS (ProfessionalATLAS Work Station). Participants are guided through the process of writing and debugging ATLAS programs, linking modules, creating ITA wirelists, and resource allocating ATLAS programs on the ATE. Students also gain experience developing flowcharts, test diagrams and other documentation using PAWS tools.
Prerequisite: Course 6005 or ATLAS programming experience.

6005
ATLAS Programming Course

Provides experience writing ATLAS programs. Students learn to use the ATLAS specification as well as all ATLAS constructs, including signal requirements, declaring variables, control structures, applying and measuring analog signals, timing and data bus testing. If requested, this course can include handson experience writing and debugging ATLAS programs using TYX’s PAWS (Professional ATLAS Work Station). Classroom time is evenly divided between lecture and workshop activities. Structured for both new and experienced ATLAS programmers.

Choose the course appropriate to your needs:
6005-B
IEEE Std. 716-1989 ATLAS Subset
ATLAS Programming for ATLAS IEEE 716-89
6005-C
ARINC 626 ATLAS Programming
ATLAS Programming for ARINC / 626-3 (the standard used for commercial aircraft projects such as Boeing 777)
6005-D
IEEE Std. 716-1995 ATLAS Subset
ATLAS Programming for ATLAS IEEE 716-95

6006
PAWS Advanced Driver Development Course

Gives ATE engineers experience developing instrument drivers using the PAWS system. The PAWS compilation system is discussed with special emphasis on signal analysis and resource allocation. The PAWS databases describing the ATLAS subset, ATE instruments and the ATE switch are studied in depth. Hands-on exercises give practice in creating and modifying each database. Students learn to control ATE instruments by writing PAWS macros or by integrating existing drivers in C/C++ or other languages using the PAWS CEM process.
Prerequisite: Course 6005 or ATLAS programming experience.

6007
TRD (Test Requirements Document) System Users Course

Designed for users of the TYX TRD System software, This five-day course features Test Requirements Document creation from start to finish. It covers the new use of table editors to specify test requirements and model the UUT and demonstrates how this data is used by the system to create the TRD. It demonstrates the use of requirements and UUT failure data to calculate performance indicators for fault detection and isolation. It also demonstrates the interface with the default configuration management and version control aspects of the system. It includes the process of generating pre-release and final release documents. Students are introduced to the various standard forms that make up a TRD. Participants automatically generate their ATLAS program using the TRD database. Techniques for customizing TRD forms are demonstrated along with the generation of test flowcharts and other documentation. Creation of TRDs from an existing ATLAS program is also discussed. This course includes daily lectures and hands-on lab work. Students receive TRD workbooks with detailed examples.

6010
TestBase Users Course

This three-day course introduces the visual development process within TestBase. Students learn how to create test strategies that describe the testing sequence of units under test. The test strategies contain test elements for input parameters, output parameters and comparison of test limits. Links are established between test strategies and the test procedures that implement the strategies. Test procedures are also developed using third-party external application environments. The course also describes how test strategies are documented and how test results are saved in databases. Finally, students learn to customize the functionality of the TestBase product for their unique application domain.

6011
PAWS Run Time System – Advanced Techniques Course

An advanced course for ATE and TPS engineers involving advanced concepts for the PAWS Run Time System. Advanced on-station compilation, integration and debug features are highlighted.

6013
SigBase Users Course

This four-day course introduces the visual development process within SigBase. Students learn how to create test strategies that describe the testing sequence of units under test. The test strategies contain test elements for input parameters, output parameters and comparison of test limits. The course also describes how test strategies are documented. On the third day, focus shifts to the signal-based aspects of the application. A review of the IEEE 1641 standard is included as are the contents of the IEEE 1641 Standard TSF (Test Signal Framework) Library included in SigBase. The use of SigBase’s Signals Palette Bar in building a test strategy is included in hands-on exercises as is the use of the signal editor. Finally, students learn to create a customized TSF to meet specific local requirements and to generate 1641 carrier language and TPL code.
