This five day course is designed for new PAWS Users and for anyone who needs hands on experience developing Test Program Sets (TPS's) using the Professional ATLAS Work Station (PAWS®). Participants are guided through the process of writing and debugging ATLAS programs, linking modules, creating ITA wirelists, and resource allocating the ATLAS programs on the ATE. Students also gain experience developing flowcharts, test diagrams, and other documentation using the PAWS tools. Prerequisite: Course 6005 or ATLAS programming experience.

These courses provide training for TPS Programmers with no ATLAS experience, or for ATLAS programmers who need to learn a new ATLAS subset. Each course provides the student with hands-on experience writing and debugging ATLAS programs using PAWS. Classroom time is divided evenly between lecture and hands-on work. Each student is provided with a copy of the ATLAS programming specification and classroom guidebook.

This five day course provides experience writing ATLAS programs using the IEEE 716-1989 ATLAS subset. Students learn the use of the specification as well as all ATLAS constructs including signal requirements, declaring variables, control structures, applying and measuring analog signals, timing, and databus testing.

Similar to course 6005-B, this course provides experience with the ARINC 626-3 ATLAS subset which is used for commercial aircraft projects such as the new Boeing 777.
6005-D
IEEE Std. 716-1995 ATLAS Subset

Similar to course 6005-B, this course provides experience with the IEEE 716-1995 ATLAS Subset.

This five day course gives ATE engineers experience developing instrument drivers using the PAWS system. The PAWS ATLAS compilation process is discussed with special emphasis on signal analysis and resource allocation. The PAWS Databases which describe the ATLAS subset, ATE instruments, and the ATE switch are studied in depth. Hands-on exercises give practice in creating / modifying each database. Students learn to control ATE instruments by writing PAWS Macros or by integrating existing drivers in 'C' or other languages using the PAWS CEM process. Hands-on exercises include modeling a simulated ATE and testing the instrument drivers with ATLAS programs.

Prerequisite: Course 6005 or ATLAS programming experience, knowledge of ATE and instrument control fundamentals.

Designed for new users of the PAWS TRD software, or for anyone who is interested in in-depth information about TRDs and how sophisticated software can reduce the time spent creating, updating and flowcharting the TRD for a test program set. This five-day course features Test Requirements Document creation from start to finish. Students are introduced to the various standard forms which 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.

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.
