Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A method of testing with a relay and metering test instrument comprising:
operating the relay and metering test instrument with an application processor circuitry;
receiving, with the application processor circuitry, a source code state program and an operational parameter, the source code state program and the operational parameter received via a user interface as inputs by a user;
compiling, with the application processor circuitry, the source code state program and the operational parameter into a test routine;
storing the test routine in a memory circuitry with a plurality of other test routines;
independently executing, with a real time processor circuitry, the plurality of other test routines stored in the memory circuitry to perform a plurality of respective test states;
independently executing, with the real time processor circuitry, the test routine stored in the memory circuitry to perform a respective test state, the respective test state being different from the plurality of respective test states; and
generating, with an input/output processor circuitry, a sample waveform for equipment under test as directed by execution of the test routine;
wherein the relay and metering test instrument is configured to enable deployment of a new parameter-adjustment algorithm(s) without requiring an update(s) to firmware in the relay and metering test instrument;
wherein the application processor circuitry and the real time processor circuitry comprise separate, distinct, and independently operational processor circuitry; and
wherein the real time processor circuitry is operable for execution of the parameter-adjustment algorithm(s), and the application processor circuitry is operable for executing the firmware in the relay and metering test instrument to control functional operation of the relay and metering test instrument.
