ECU Toolkit

The ECU Toolkit group in the Step Types list contains the following step types:

  • ECU Multi Test—Evaluates one or more parametric or functional tests for the DUT. A single ECU Multi Test step can specify multiple parametric or functional tests. You can configure multisite options directly on the step.
  • ECU Action—Performs an action, such as instrument configuration, with access to the pin map. You can configure multisite options directly on the step.
    • Note ECU Software Toolkit steps disable the Switching panel of the Properties tab in the Step Settings pane. Use Switch Executive step types from the ECU Software Toolkit and Switch Executive connections defined in the pin map to perform switching operations.

    SLSC 12251/2

    The SLSC 12251/2 group, located at IO Configuration » Instrument Control » SLSC 12251/2 in the Step Types list, contains the following step types:
  • SLSC FIU - Read Current—Measures the current through the specified SLSC FIU channels.
  • SLSC FIU - Reset—Returns the SLSC FIU to the initialized state.

    • Measurement Configuration

    The Measurement Configuration group in the Step Types list contains the following step types:
  • Create Pin Sessions—Initializes the Pin Map Context with the driver sessions for instruments. Instruments must be defined in the pin map file, used in at least one pin connection, and used in a site enabled in the Configure Lot Settings dialog box for a driver session to be created.
    Note The Create Pin Sessions step supports RMX-410x power supplies and instruments programmed using NI-FGEN, NI-DCPower, NI-DMM, or NI-SCOPE.
  • Apply Pin Configuration—Resets the instrument to its default settings and configures the selected pins with pin settings from the corresponding measurement configuration file.
  • Close Pin Sessions—Closes all instrument driver sessions initialized by the Create Pin Sessions step.
    • The Measurement Configuration group also contains the Measurement Control group, which contains groups with steps for specific instrument types.
  • Digital Multimeter (DMM) Group—
  • DMM - Read Measurement—Reads, publishes, and returns the digital multimeter measurement results for the specified DMM pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • Waveform Generator (FGen) Group—
  • FGen - Initiate Generation— Initiates waveform generation for the specified FGen pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • FGen - Abort Generation—Aborts waveform generation for the specified FGen pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • FGen - Enable Output—Enables waveform generation for the specified FGen pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • FGen - Disable Output—Disables waveform generation for the specified FGen pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • Oscilloscope (Scope) Group—
  • Scope - Initiate Acquisition—Initiates waveform acquisition for the specified Scope pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • Scope - Read Measurements—Reads and publishes the Scope measurement results for the specified Scope pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • Scope - Abort Acquisition—Aborts acquisition for the specified Scope pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • SMU/Power Supply (SMU/PPS) Group—
  • SMU/PPS - Initiate—Starts generation or acquisition for the specified SMU/PPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • SMU/PPS - Abort—Transitions the specified SMU/PPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context from the Running state to the Uncommitted state and terminates any running sequences for those pins.
  • SMU/PPS - Enable Output—Enables generation for the specified SMU/PPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • SMU/PPS - Disable Output—Disables generation for the specified SMU/PPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • SMU/PPS - Read Measurement—Reads, publishes and returns the voltage, current, and power measurement results for the specified SMU/PPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • SMU/PPS - Reset Device—Resets all instruments connected to the specified SMU/PPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context to a known state.
  • RMX Power Supply (RMXPS) Group—
  • RMXPS - Enable Output—Enables power generation for the specified RMXPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • RMXPS - Disable Output—Disables power generation for the specified RMXPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • RMXPS - Read Measurement—Reads, publishes and returns the voltage, current, and power measurement results for the specified RMXPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • RMXPS - Reset Output Protection—Clears the latch that disables output when an overvoltage or undervoltage fault condition is detected on the specified RMXPS pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.
  • Switch Executive (NISE) Group—
  • NISE - Open Sessions—Creates sessions for all NI Switch Executive virtual devices in the Pin Map context and stores the created sessions in the Pin Map context.
  • NISE - Close Sessions—Closes all NI Switch Executive virtual device sessions in the Pin Map context.
  • NISE - Pin to Sessions—Returns the NI Switch Executive virtual device sessions, switch routes, and new Pin Map context objects required to access a switched pin and a switched instrument channel.
  • NISE - Connect—Connects the routes specified in the connection specification.
  • NISE - Disconnect—Disconnects the routes specified in the disconnection specification.
  • NISE - Disconnect All—Disconnects all connections on every IVI switch device managed by NI Switch Executive virtual device sessions in the Pin Map context.
