Configuring Instruments and Devices in VeriStand
The system definition file contains system configuration settings. You configure it in VeriStand System Explorer by adding, removing, and modifying options in the configuration tree, located on the left of the System Explorer window.
The base system definition file configures the physical hardware that is unchanging in the test station, such as the chiller, the measurement I/O device, cycler, and the environmental chamber. Configuring this hardware creates the base system definition file. However, for hardware that changes, such as the DUT, you need to use a scripted definition file, which uses aliases to map various APIs and signals to the DUT. Refer to Aliases and the Battery Test System for more information about how and why to use aliases.
Configuring a Base System Definition File
Refer to the following topics to configure a system definition file for the Battery Test System.

A fully integrated Battery Test System incorporates equipment from multiple manufacturers, code written by different people, various application software, and myriad signals routed between all of the above. Define aliases for signals and system components to simplify bringup by standardizing nomenclature across your code for your system implementation.
