Agilent Technologies' T&M Toolkit 2.0 With Test Automation Enables Industry's Fastest Measurement Sequencing, Results Analysis
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the Agilent T&M Toolkit version 2.0 with Test Automation, which provides a fast method of sequencing measurements and analyzing results, and is easier to use than off-the-shelf test executive software. The new functionality automates instrument control and measurement sequences for design validation and prototype testing without using complex and often expensive test executives.
"T&M Toolkit 2.0 provides the quickest and easiest way to gather measurement data, control instruments, create test sequences, generate results and build customized applications in a Microsoft environment," said Mark Pierpoint, vice president of Agilent's Measurement and Analysis Software Group. "T&M developers will benefit from greater test flexibility and faster analysis."
The Agilent T&M Toolkit 2.0 makes it easy for engineers to create textual programs for Visual Studio® in a fully integrated, consistent test and measurement environment for multiple software languages. T&M Toolkit 2.0 adds new functionality to existing instrument connection tools, I/O monitoring and driver wizards, specialized test and measurement math, and graphs for creating applications in Visual Studio. New features of T&M Toolkit 2.0 with Test Automation allow engineers to:
• Create tests using built-in branching logic, limit checking and debugging.
• Automatically capture test results in XML format, easily export them to Excel, or analyze them instantly using automatically generated control charts and histograms.
• Quickly control and automate measurements by sequencing SCPI commands, VEE code, any Microsoft .NET language code (including VB .NET, Managed C++ and C#), VXIplug&play, and IVI-COM drivers.
