ATML Workbench

The Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) is an IEEE family of standards that creates a common format for the exchange of information about Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) and test strategies. ATML is based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), which uses text files that are both human- and machine-readable to exchange structured data between applications.

Under a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, Universal Technical Resource Services, Inc. (UTRS) developed the ATML Workbench, a suite of software tools designed to support the use of ATML when re-hosting ATLAS Test Program Sets (TPSs). The suite of tools includes:

• The Translator Tool, which translates TPS source code from ATLAS into ATML. The ATML source code generated by the Translator specifies signal instances found in the ATLAS source using models drawn from a Signal Model Library.

• The Reader Tool, extracts required test data from human-readable files and converts it to ATML configuration and ATE description files.

• The Allocator, identifies the ATE that is capable of producing the signals required to execute a given TPS.

Installation

Installation files are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. They can be downoaded from https://atml.utrs.com/.

License and Support

The Translator, the Reader, the Allocator, the example documents included in the download, and the ATML Workbench itself are provided as open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (https://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/).

In addition, UTRS developed a library of signal models designed for use with Navy CASS TPSs. This library is available for licensing directly from UTRS.
