Abstract:

A method for operating a data processing system to control a device under test and to collect data from that device. The user is provided with a first display having a list of elementary tasks having first and second tasks from which a user selects one or more elementary tasks. The first task applies a signal to the device under test when that task is executed and the second task causes the data processing system to receive data from the device under test. The user edits task parameters using a second display to provide a current test definition. In response to user input, the data processing system executes each of the tasks in the current test definition and stores any data received from the device under test in a data set that includes the current test definition and which is displayed in a third display.
