The connector XML configuration file (.connectorinterface) defines the input and output signals used for a test, and maps defined DUT signals to defined instrument channels on BTS hardware.

Connector XML File Tag Reference

  • <ConnectorInterface> —Top-level tag for .connectorinterface files.
    Table 24. <ConnectorInterface> Attributes
    Attribute NameData TypeRequired?Accepted and Default ValuesDescription
    NamestringYesName of the connector package. This name appears in the DUT Connector list in the DUT to Test Station Connectors section of the BTS Web UI Test Plan Editor.
  • <ConnectorSignal> —Describes a signal in the connector interface used for mapping a DUT signal to an instrument channel. Contains a Measurement Attribute element, which contains information on the signal's properties. Measurement Attribute elements are described in Measurement Attribute XML Conventions.
    Table 25. <ConnectorSignal> Attributes
    Attribute NameData TypeRequired?Accepted and Default ValuesDescription
    NamestringYesName of the signal.
  • Sample .connectorinterface File

    The following example illustrates a sample structure for a .connectorinterface XML file.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <ConnectorInterface Name = "TestCI">
      <ConnectorSignal Name = "TC1">
        <TemperatureInputAttributes Unit = "Celsius"
         MinValue = "0" MaxValue = "80"/>
      </ConnectorSignal>
      <ConnectorSignal Name = "TC2">
        <TemperatureInputAttributes Unit ="Celsius" 
         MinValue = "0" MaxValue = "80"/>
      </ConnectorSignal>
    </ConnectorInterface>
