Using PAtools to Create SystemLink Test Results

Through PAtools, you can use SystemLink test results to remotely track test progress and view data files.

When generating a test from SystemLink, the PAtools test generation automatically enables PAtools to create a SystemLink test result. PAtools test generation also enables PAtools to publish measurement files to SystemLink during test execution.

When generating a test from PAconfigurator, complete the following steps to create test results and publish measurement files to SystemLink:

  1. Navigate to PAcfg » Application_Components » Module_Library » PAmodule » softwaremodules » OrgDaten_(Organizational_data_and_create_container_on_PCU) » OrgDaten_system.
  2. Open OrgDaten_SystemLink.
    1. Set OrgDaten_SystemLink_Enabled.ACT to 1.
    2. Optional: Set the following fields to populate the test results and measurement files.
      • SystemLink Product Part Number
      • Program Name
      • DUT Serial Number
      • SystemLink Test Plan ID
      • SystemLink Work Order ID
The test result is associated with the SystemLink test plan and the SystemLink product.

Convert PAtools Measurement Files into SystemLink Data Tables

You can use a SystemLink Notebook to convert measurement (MDF4) files into data tables to view data interactively in the measurement files.

Refer to the readme that is located in the BLS SystemLink Integration GitHub repository to learn how to configure SystemLink to convert PAtools MDF4 files. If you do not have access to the GitHub repository, work with your account representative for access credentials. Attempting to access the repository without proper credentials results in a 404 error.

Refer to Interacting with Data in a Data Space in the SystemLink Enterprise User Manual for information about viewing data tables in SystemLink.
