The virtual resource management services describe services that are available at the virtual test level. These services are divided into services for individual virtual resources and services for groups of virtual resources. It is entirely possible to write a test program using only the services specified in the virtual resource management services subclause (6.2) of this standard. For example, a test programmer may know that an ac signal with a –10 dBm power and a 100 MHz frequency is needed at test subject pin J1-1. This information is conveyed to the virtual services in this standard via the test procedure, which may or may not be written in ATLAS. The examples in Annex A of this standard utilize ATLAS, but this is arbitrary. The test-specific information may be used to create and manipulate a virtual resource via the services defined in the virtual resource management subclause (6.2) of this standard. The virtual resource can be mapped to real resources and, eventually, used to command the real resources to perform the functions needed by the test programmer. An example of this can be found in more detail in Clause A.1 of Annex A. It is important to note that the virtual resource creation and initialization can occur dynamically, during test execution, or stat- ically, at some time prior to test execution
The virtual resource group services are a subset of the services that are provided in the virtual resource man- agement services subclause (6.2) of this standard. The discriminating factor for the services associated with the virtual resource group is simultaneity. The virtual resource group services let the test programmer group virtual resources together and indicate that all of them must be available at the same time in order for testing to occur. An example that uses the virtual resource group services can be found in Clause A.3 of Annex A.
The test equipment configuration management services describe services to manipulate and search informa- tion related to the configuration of a particular set of test equipment. These services can be utilized by the implementation of the virtual resource management services, or they can be accessed directly by tester con- figuration tools or by the test program itself. An example of a tool that may want to access the test equip- ment configuration services is a test subject/tester analysis tool. This tool could analyze a particular tester configuration, and could identify whether it could be used to test a specific test subject. The analysis would be based on the behaviors of the test subject that need to be tested. Clause A.9 in Annex A describes just such a tool.
