Standard Details

Amend the guide to add guidelines for producing reusable TSFs for use on platforms utilizing ATML, and produce example TSFs showing conformance with the guidelines. This guide explains how signal definitions and test requirements may be implemented in conformance with IEEE Std 1641-2010. It also provides background information, tutorial support, and examples of signal definitions and test requirements for users of the standard. TSFs are major component for adhering with the IEEE Std 1641. There is little guidance in helping users create their own reusable TSFs or examples that show good practices to copy.

Active Projects	Active P1641 - Standard for Signal and Test Definition This standard provides the means to define and describe signals used in testing. It provides a set of common basic signal definitions, built upon formal mathematical specifications, so that signals can be combined to form complex signals usable across all test platforms. The standard provides support for structural textual languages and programming language interfaces for interoperability.
Existing Standards	Active 716-1995 - IEEE Standard Test Language for All Systems - Common/Abbreviated Test Language for All Systems (C/ATLAS) A high order language for testing is defined. This language is designed to describe tests in terms that are independent of any specific test system, and has been constrained to ensure that it can be implemented on automatic test equipement.
	Active 771-1998 - IEEE Guide to the Use of the ATLAS Specification Guidance in the use of ATLAS test languages is provided. ATLAS may be used to de- scribe test requirements independent of any specific test equipment, and examples of best practice in the use of ATLAS are given.
	Superseded 1641.1-2006 - IEEE Guide for the Use of IEEE Std 1641, Standard for Signal and Test Definition Guidance in the use of the signal and test definition (STD) standard is provided. STD provides the means to define and describe signals used in testing. This guide describes how to implement, apply, and use a set of common basic signals to form complex signals usable across all test platforms.
	Superseded 1671.1-2009 - IEEE Standard for Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) for Exchanging Automatic Test Equipment and Test Information via XML: Exchanging Test Descriptions This document specifies an exchange format, using the extensible Markup Language (XML), for exchanging the test description information defining test performance, test conditions, diagnostic requirements, and support equipment to locate, align, and verify the proper operation of a Unit Under Test (UUT). This is in support of the development of Test Program Sets (TPSs) that will be used in an automatic test environment.
	Active 1641-2010 - IEEE Standard for Signal and Test Definition This standard provides the means to define and describe signals used in testing. It also provides a set of common basic signals, built upon formal mathematical specifications so that signals can be combined to form complex signals usable across all test platforms.

	Active 1641.1-2013 - IEEE Guide for the Use of IEEE Std 1641, IEEE Standard for Signal and Test Definition Guidance in the use of the signal and test definition (STD) standard, IEEE Std 1641-2010, is provided. IEEE Std 1641 provides the means to define and describe signals used in testing. This guide describes how to form complex signals usable across all test platforms.
	Active 1671.1-2017 - IEEE Standard for Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) Test Descriptions An exchange format, utilizing Extensible Markup Language (XML), for both the static description of unit under test (UUT), and the specific description of UUT instance information is defined in this standard.
	Active 1671.3-2017 - IEEE Standard for Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) Unit Under Test (UUT) Description An exchange format utilizing Extensible Markup Language (XML) for both the static description of unit under test (UUT) and the specific description of UUT instance information is defined in this standard.
