scope:

This standard deÞnes the information content and the data formats for the interchange of digital test program data between DATPGs and automatic test equipment (ATE) for board-level printed circuit assemblies. This information can be broadly grouped into data that deÞnes the following:

a) UUT Model;

b) Stimulus and Response;

c) Fault Dictionary;

d) Probe.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide a standard output format for test data generated by a DATPG. A DATPG produces test patterns and fault diagnostic data for ATE. This data is used in applications such as board-level assemblies where diagnostic data interchange is important.
