Abstract :
The purpose of studying automatic test system (ATS) software architecture is to improve the ATS instrument interchangeability, promote automation in software development and portability of test program sets (TPSs). Based on the research and analysis of the characteristics and existing shortcomings of the current ATS software architecture, this paper puts forward a modular and standard ATS software architecture based on the function interface which can satisfy the demands of the general-purpose ATS software. Then it undertakes a reasonable partitioning of the software layers according to the ABBET standard. This software architecture based on the function interface is much better in the aspects of the instrumental independence, the openness of software system and the portability of TPS.
