Digital pattern files contain a collection of vectors, or instructions, to execute on an NI-Digital Pattern instrument. Components of the binary pattern file include time sets, labels, opcodes, vector numbers, pin state data that indicates drives and compares, and comments for each vector. You can edit pattern files in the Digital Pattern Editor.

TSM Implementation

Select Semiconductor Module » Launch Digital Pattern Editor or click the Launch Digital Pattern Editor button on the TSM toolbar to open digital pattern project files in the Digital Pattern Editor. Additionally, you can use the Digital Pattern Project panel of the Test Program Editor to specify the pathname of the digital pattern project file to use in the test program.

The TSM Pin Map Editor and pin map schema natively support NI-Digital Pattern instruments.

Use the TSM Code Module API for the NI-Digital Pattern instruments to manage digital pattern instruments and sessions, to manage digital pattern waveform data, and to access digital pattern project files.

Note The NI-Digital Pattern VIs are available only in 64-bit LabVIEW.

You can create a basic test program from a digital pattern project. Select Semiconductor Module » Create Test Program from Digital Pattern Project to launch the Create Test Program from Digital Pattern Project dialog box.
