A software framework for test system development
Software for test systems is often developed from scratch. This can lead to applications on a number of different variants whose implementation depends on the programmer. This results in expensive maintenance. Beginning with a common software framework can save a lot of time and money. The Testsystem Development Framework, TDFrame, is a base for getting well-structured software that is easy to maintain and that can be reused in future systems. It also is an aid for less experienced developers to create a well-structured application without help from more experienced system architects.
TDFrame is designed for general instruments, which makes it independent of which specific instrument is used in the test system. TDFrame contains templates for solving common functions, such as configuring and handling calibration files and general instruments.
