8、EEE Std 1671.1-2009, IEEE Standard for Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) for Exchanging Automatic Test Equipment and Test Information via XML: Exchanging Test Descriptions. The benefits of using standards in test-related applications have long been recognized. The scope for standardization exten
9、ds from low-level standards associated with test instrument control to high-level standards associated with specifying tests in an implementation-independent manner. In the 1960s, Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated started the development of the Abbreviated Test Language for Avionics Systems. In 1976,
10、 management of the ATLAS standard was passed to the IEEE, and the ATLAS acronym was changed to Abbreviated Test Language for All Systems to reflect its broader field of applications. Within the IEEE, development of ATLAS and ATLAS-related standards was vested in an ad hoc committee, which later beca
11、me the IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 20 (SCC20). In the mid-1980s, SCC20 broadened the scope of its activities to embrace other standards projects related to test and diagnosis, including Automatic Test Program Generation (ATPG), Test Equipment Description Language (TEDL), Artificial Intelli
12、gence Exchange and Service Tie to All Test Environments (AI-ESTATE), A Broad Based Environment for Test (ABBET), Software Interface to Maintenance Information and Collection Analysis (SIMICA), Receiver Fixture Interface (RFI), Signal and Test Definition (STD), and Automatic Test Markup Language (ATM
13、L). The parent standard, IEEE Std 1671TMab, provides the framework for a family of standards providing specifications for test-related applications and environments. This family specifies language-independent elements within a wide variety of test environments, including built-in test systems, autom
14、atic test systems (ATS), and manual test environments. Each of these interfaces is specified in the form of an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) schema. This child, or “dot,” standard, also known as an ATML component standard, specifies a new XML schema that provides for the representation of test de
15、scription information. XML schemas define the basic information required within any test application and provide a vehicle for formally defining the test environment by defining a class hierarchy corresponding to these basic information entities and providing several methods within each to enable ba
16、sic operations to be performed on these entities. ATML component standards within the ATML framework define the particular requirements within the test environment. Notice to users Laws and regulations Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance w
17、ith the provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication of its standards, intend to urge
18、 action that is not in compliance with applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed as doing so. aIEEE publications are available from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA (http:/standards.ieee.org/). b Information on references

25、 by the IEEE with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant has filed a statement of assurance via an Accepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-SA Website at http:/standards.ieee.org/about/sa

Letters of Assurance may indicate whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation or under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination to applicants des
27、iring to obtain such licenses. Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of Patents Claims
28、, or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent right
29、s, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association. vi Copyright 2013 IEEE.
