Problems solved by technology

However, using the default rules can lead to usage problems because the default formatting rules may not provide a close enough "fit" for the data type(s) associated with the new test result, increasing data corruption and possibility of loss

Embodiment Construction

[0009] Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary computer-implemented method for formatting data. The method includes 1) automatically comparing data associated with a test result with a plurality of known data types to determine the best matching test result type for the test result (see block 102), wherein the plurality of known data types Knowing that a data type is associated with a plurality of test result types; and 2) automatically formatting the data associated with the test result type according to one or more data formatting rules associated with the best matching test result type (see block 104).

[0010] In the case of circuit testing, it is known that the types may include, for example, one or more parametric test data types and one or more functional test data types. A parametric test data type may be defined by data including test measurements and test limits, and a functional test data type may be defined by data including vector information. Another function test da...

Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for formatting data involves 1) automatically comparing data associated with a test result, the known data types being associated with test result types, to known data types to determine a best match test result type for the test result; and 2) automatically formatting the data associated with the test result in accord with one or more data formatting rules that are associated with the best match test result type.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for automatically formatting data based on the best matching test result type. Background technique [0002] When testing circuits, test results may be recorded in "raw" format. Often, this raw format is 1) not accepted by applications used to analyze test results, and 2) difficult to understand by test engineers and others. [0003] Due to the difficulties posed by the raw data format described above, raw data is often converted into one or more other formats, for example, by rearranging, sorting, grouping, extracting, and / or performing other operations on the data. [0004] Many times, different types of test results may be associated with different types of data. For example, in the case of circuit testing, the data may be parameters or functions. Because each of these data types needs to be handled differently during data formatting operations, the data formatting system must be able to reco...
