Using IVI with PAWS
The Environment
PAWS Developer's Studio gives you the capability to edit, compile, modify, debug,
document, execute, and simulate the test procedures developed in Abbreviated
Test Language for All Systems (ATLAS) in the Windows NT/2000/XP Platform
environment. PAWS supports a full range of the most commonly used ATLAS
Language subsets. A PAWS Toolkit can modify the ATLAS Language subset to
meet a particular Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) configuration. Its output can be
executed on the associated Debugging PAWS/RTS run-time system or can be
translated to run on your unique run-time system.
Creation of a PAWS project typically consists of three main steps:
•
Prepare the PAWS environment
•
Connect to the instrument driver
•
Prepare the run-time system environment and run the project

because the referenced files are not included in the program. If you need to
