Abstract:With the development of test technology and the advance of test cost, implementation of general-utility of ATS software and hardware is the current research hotspot. In this paper, a summary of standard/specification relating to the development of general ATS was given. Hardware configuration, interface between equipment, IVI, and signal-oriented method were discussed. The implementation of general ATS can make UUT test on different ATE, and the portability of TPS come true, thus military and economic benefits can be improved greatly.
