Patent ID: 7764619

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing routing in a measurement system, comprising: analyzing routing information for a measurement system, wherein the routing information specifies a plurality of routes in the measurement system, wherein each route comprises one or more routing resources in the measurement system, and wherein at least one of the plurality of routes specifies a signal path between a measurement device and a transducer configured to perform a measurement on a unit under test (UUT) to acquire a signal; determining a routing conflict between two routes of the plurality of routes based on said analyzing, wherein the routing conflict comprises incompatible reservations of a routing resource comprised in each of the two routes, wherein the routing resource comprises a multiplexer (MUX); and outputting an error message indicating the routing conflict, wherein the error message comprises: identification of the two routes, comprising: respective names of the two routes; and respective sources and destinations of the two routes; respective routing resource sequences of the two routes; identification of the routing resource; and identification of respective tasks associated with the two routes; wherein the error message is useable in debugging routing for the measurement system.
