Create your first project

This page describes how to create project in FunTEST

FunTEST File Structure

FunTEST uses 3 types of files for test management

1. Projects

   • Projects purpose is to organize individual Test Files (Sequences) and assign Test Stations to Test files

2. Test Stations

   • Test Stations define the hardware interface i.e. plugins for equipment control and test points and I/O mapping

3. Test Files

   • Test Files is where the developed sequence is stored in a spreadsheet format

To access the file structure in FunTEST go to Administrator > Project and test stations. Here you can see the list of projects (right) and test stations (left)

4. By double-clicking on the device write the alias and any commands you want to automatically send when the test file opens What is an alias? Alias is the name you use to refer to this device from your test sequence. Choose a name that describes what the connected devices is such as DMM, DUT, PSU, etc....

5. Finally in the IO and MX mapping you can assign aliases to specific digital inputs/outputs and test points. Same as in previous steps the Pin alias is to be used in a test sequnce to reference a specific I/O or a test point.

What is an alias? Alias is the name you use to refer to a device, digital I/O, or a test point from your test sequence. Choose a name that describes what the connected device is such as DMM, DUT, PSU, etc.... This makes your test sequence readable and user friendly
