Sequences make it easy to ensure all required testing procedures have been successfully completed and can be created with ease. The calc software tools include eight data buffers that provide additional testing flexibility. These data buffers can be used for a variety of tests such as functionality, performance, stress, and data integrity. Search and compare functions are also provided. The calc software tools also include the following optional components.
Scripts are custom programs that use a C-based programming language.
Scripts provide additional control over the testing environment because they can use program functions such as variables and conditional statements. Scripts can be used to issue commands to the device under test and depending on test results, determine what should occur next. These are fixed test applications that automate more complex testing tasks. These test applications can be used for various testing scenarios such as performance, functional, stress, data integrity, and interoperability tests for specific devices. These test application packages require the scripting option to function.
