The validation section of the log file includes a table that contains all the errors and warnings the ATML TD translator finds when translating the TD instance document.

When you enable the Stop Translation if Validation Fails option on the General Settings tab of the ATML Test Description Translator Configuration dialog box, the ATML TD translator returns errors if the TD instance document does not validate against the ATML TD schema or if the TD instance document violates constraints the ATML TD standard defines. The translator uses the following schema files located in the directory you specify in the ATML Test Description Schema Location control on the General Settings tab of the ATML Test Description Translator Configuration dialog box to validate the TD instance document before translating it:

• TestDescription.xsd
• Common.xsd
• HardwareCommon.xsd
• STDBSC.xsd
• STDTSF.xsd
• STDTSFLib.xsd
• DatumTypes.xsd
• Operations.xsd
• IeeeStd1641.xsd

You must resolve all errors to complete a successful translation. Warnings usually relate to tasks to complete, and you might need to resolve the warnings before you can completely execute the generated TestStand sequence file and code module.

In most cases, if any errors occur when translating a TD instance document or incrementally updating a translated sequence file, the translator does not generate any files but continues translating to locate all errors.
