A digital pattern file can contain only one pattern. You typically use one of the following methods to generate pattern files:
  • Create a simple pattern in the Digital Pattern Editor.
  • Write custom scripts or use an in-house or third-party tool to convert existing pattern files or files that an automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tool creates, such as Waveform Generation Language (WGL) or Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) files, to the NI text pattern file format (.digipatsrc).
  • Use custom tools to output .digipatsrc files, such as generating a pattern based on a list of register transactions.
