How implement IEEE 1641 on Signal-Oriented ATS development

This article researches on how to implement IEEE 1641 in signal-oriented ATS development. Signal-oriented ATS is the best choice to achieve the modern ATS designs goals such as instrument interchange; ATE adaptability; faster technology insertion; TPS rehost; TPS interoperation and so on. According to the signal-oriented ATS development process, the signal definition standard and the interface description design are the most important questions required to solve. The uniform signal and measure definition; XML interface description method; object Model interface provided by IEEE 1641 can fulfill all above requirements. An application is offered to explain how to construct a complex signal based on common models which defined in BSC layer of IEEE 1641. And how to description signal´s schema in XML develop environment is afforded in succession. The signal requirement with textual format in TPL and the corresponding mapping test program codes in VB are provided subsequently. Finally, a conclusion is gived with some deficiencies of this implement in practice.
