Abstract

This paper describes an instrument system which can be easily applied in instrument and data (I&D) simulation and faults detection, especially tracing some minute errors within hardware or software. This novel automated measurement and testing system mainly includes: the control and DSP module, data emulation and generation module and logic analysis module. The set of simulation and testing system is based on latest VXIbus standard and designed as message based and register based C-size modules covering several sophisticated techniques of direct digital synthesis in the secondary interface. After the frame description of test and measurement architectures, this paper details the hardware techniques and software strategies as well as simulation results
