M9193A DSR Pattern Editor with Data Converters Software
The M9193A DSR pattern editor with data converters combines the digital pattern editor with
data converters based on Solstice-TDS In-converters from TSSI. The M9193A enables the
utilization of digital pattern files from various Automatic Test Program Generators (ATPGs).
Vector files can be read using an appropriate In-converter and then edited using the pattern
editor. In the case of Verilog files, an event-based database without timing is created when the
VCE/ECVD file is read, and supplied cyclization tools add timing. Once the digital patterns are
complete, they can be utilized by the M9195B via the DSR tester bridge. The resulting digital
development environment results in fast test development using ATPGs and customized output
for the M9195B DSR.
The M9193A includes the following In-converters:
– The WGL In-converter reads an ASCII file that’s compliant to the TSSI Waveform
Generation Language (WGL) Specification.
– The STIL In-converter reads a text file that is STIL specification compliant (IEEE Std
1450.0-1999). This In-converter is very useful for reading files produced by many ATPGs
including Synopsys TetraMAX, Cadence Encounter, and Mentor Graphics FastScan. Note:
the M9195B PXIe DSR uses an enhanced version of STIL and is not supported with this STIL
In-converter. However, the M9195B is supported with the Keysight DSR STIL In-converter
that comes standard with the pattern editor.
– The Verilog In-converter converts a Value Change Dump (VCD) or an Extended Value
Change Dump (EVCD) file generated by a Verilog simulator (e.g., Cadence IUS, Mentor
Questa, or Synopsys VCS).
– The ASCII In-converter is a flexible, tabular form reader. The TSSI ASCII format is a
host-independent, human-readable representation of cyclized test patterns. This format
is designed for importing a bulk of data. The bulk data can be created from scratch or by
converting from a different pattern format as long as it conforms to the TSSI ASCII format
specification. Note: this data format is different than the bulk data format used with the
M9195B Soft Front panel.
