Create the DUT XML Configuration File (.dut)

To define the characteristics and signals for a DUT during a test, you will need to create a DUT XML configuration file (.dut). This configuration file allows the Battery Test System Web UI, the interface users interact with the Battery Test System through, to understand your DUT. This configuration file will need to contain a name and description for a DUT, as well as information on the DUT's I/O endpoints, BMS endpoints, and signal mappings associating these endpoints with connector signals from a connector XML configuration file. The DUT XML configuration file can also contain information on DUT Battery Test System Web UI plugins if your system utilizes them. A DUT XML configuration file can be created and edited within TestStand by navigating to Tools » Edit DUT XML. Refer to DUT Package XML Conventions for XML file tag reference and a sample DUT XML configuration file.
