Speaker: Grant Gothing (ATE Business Unit Manager, Bloomy)
Do you maintain multiple test systems or develop test sequences for a wide range of products? Have you ever experienced the hassles of instrumentation or platform changes? If so, hardware and measurement abstraction layers (HALs and MALs) can save you time, money, and frustration by reducing the impact of hardware changes, maximizing code reuse, and reducing development effort. At this session, explore the benefits and challenges of abstraction in ATE. Examine common options for implementing HALs and MALs, from out-of-the-box drivers through object-oriented solutions, to help you decide the right scope of abstraction to fit your needs.
