Standards Coordinating Committee 20 on Test and Diagnosis for Electronic Systems Slide 1 SCC20 Liaison Report Dr. John W. Sheppard CS SAB Meeting November 1, 2006

Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 2 Scope “Provides for the management, development, and maintenance of language and interface standards supporting system-level (onboard and offboard) automatic test and diagnosis. These standards include (but are not limited to) test requirements, test programs, test procedures, diagnostic knowledge, maintenance information, and major hardware subsystem interfaces between and within Automatic Test Systems.”

Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 7 Recent and Current Issues XML Schemata: –Committee has obtained written assurance from IEEE SA that all XML schemata developed as part of SCC20 standard will be posted on an IEEE SA website for free access and use. No special license arrangement was required. –Website already created:

Standards Coordinating Committee 20 Slide 8 Schema Header This schema is specified in IEEE , "IEEE Trial-Use Standard for Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) for Exchanging Automatic Test Equipment and Test Information via XML." This schema is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Extensible Markup Language (XML) binding of the ATML Common component defined in IEEE , "IEEE Trial-Use Standard for Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML) for Exchanging Automatic Test Equipment and Test Information via XML." The purpose of this schema is to provide unique types and attributes for ATML schemas. This schema uses the W3C XML Schema definition language as the encoding. This allows for interoperability and the exchange of ATML component instances between various systems. This schema shall not be modified but may be included in derivative works.
