ATML demonstration

With the many successes and benefits realized through the ATML Phase I Demo, the demo team has decided to embark on a second phase of the ATML Demo to further advance the ATML standards and to show further applications of these standards to solve real world problems. The purpose of the demonstrations is to validate the performance of the collection of ATML standards while providing key evidence showing how the ATML family of standards can advance industry and DoD objectives. The demonstration provides detailed implementations of the standards which reveal areas where enhancements could be made to the standards to facilitate their adoption on actual programs. One of the remaining key challenges is how to further advance the ATML standards for practical use, the goal being for ATML standards to be used and provide benefits to current and future programs. Paramount to achieving this is having software tools that create and consume ATML information to tackle real problems associated with today´s working practices. The six specific demonstration areas that will be included in Phase II are: (1) test diagram generation, (2) ATML Test Description supporting TPS life cycle, (3) modular ATML Instrument Description within an ATML Test Station description, (4) Use of Test Configuration at test station runtime, (5) Interfacing with Test Results archiving databases, and (6) ATML support for digital and bus testing.
