Create a DUT type to create a DUT template. Creating a DUT template allows you to easily parameterize individual DUTs for a test.

Introduced in PAtools 2025 Q2

Complete the following steps to create a DUT type.

  1. In the PAconfigurator Navigation area, click Devices Under Test.
  2. In the list area of the DUT Types tab, click New Device Under Test Type.
  3. Enter a Name for the DUT type.
  4. In the Device Under Test Input Parameters area, click Add Input Parameter for each DUT variable required for your template.

    Each DUT based on this DUT type inherits the Device Under Test Input Parameters. Tests use Device Under Test Input Parameters values when you configure a DUT instance using this DUT type. Configure the following Device Under Test Input Parameters settings:

    • Defined Variable—The variable as defined in Development » Device Under Test Type Library » Name of the DUT Type.
    • Display Name—The name of the input parameter.
    • Default Value—The default value of the variable.
    • Configuration Rule—The rule that determines the minimum and maximum values for the parameter. Alternatively, you can choose from the entries of a user-defined Selection List.
  5. In the Test Input Parameters area, click Add Input Parameter for each variable that you want to configure when creating a test.

    Each DUT based on this DUT type inherits the Test Input Parameters. Test Input Parameter values are configurable when creating a test. The test uses the configured values when the test executes.

    For Test Input Parameters, the same settings are available for configuration as in Device Under Test Input Parameters.

  6. Click Save.
The Device Under Test Type summary page appears in PAconfigurator. The summary page displays the configured parameters for the new DUT type.
