Introduction 1

Test Automation Software Platform

The N5991 Test Automation Software Platform, “ValiFrame” is an open

and flexible framework for automating tests such as electrical compliance

tests for digital buses. The N5991 supports a wide range of buses, for

example, PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), USB

(Universal Serial Bus) HDMI (High-definition Multimedia Interface), MIPI

(Mobile Industry Processor Interface) etc.

The product runs on a standard PC that controls a wide range of test

hardware. Typically, the hardware comprises instruments for stimulus and

response tests such as arbitrary waveform generators, BERTs (Bit Error

Ratio Testers), and oscilloscopes.

N5991 is implemented in C# within the Microsoft .NET Framework.
