Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic product manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for constructing a process instrument model of digital debugging of electronic products. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of electronic products towards high integration and multi-function, the difficulty of production and manufacturing thereof is also increased, and debugging is a very important process of electronic products, especially military products. After the completion of manufacturing and assembly of electronic products, the various indexes of the products need to be debugged to ensure that the various performance indexes of the products meet the design requirements. Debugging includes adjustment and testing of the products. Adjustment is adjustment of parameters of discrete devices or integrated devices, and testing is to generate an excitation signal by using an excitation signal source instrument, output the measured signal to a test instrument after processing by the product, and check whether the signal index meets the design requirements. Debugging is a complex process of comprehensive operation of the products, instruments and other equipment to be debugged, and needs to be accurately operated by the on-site workers guided by the debugging process to ensure the safety of the products and the accuracy of the debugging method. The debugging process is a process document for regulating the process of debugging in the production process of the products, requirements of debugging and operation methods, and is also the only basis and quality guarantee for product debugging, and is a work manual and operation guide book for debugging personnel.

[0003] The current debugging process preparation mode mainly relies on the experience of technical personnel for text preparation, can only guide the on-site workers to manually debug, and the description of the same thing by different personnel has great randomness. The debugging process structure is not unified, the content is not standardized, and the digital debugging operation cannot be supported. The traditional manual debugging method consumes manpower, has a long period, and affects the timely delivery of products. In order to improve the debugging efficiency, the current manual debugging mode is changed to automatic debugging, especially the testing part, and a professional software personnel or a software development company is cooperated to develop an automatic test system for a specific product. The use of the automatic test system greatly improves the production efficiency of product debugging, saves human resources, and also reduces the difficulty of debugging operation. The development process of the automatic test system is also a relatively complex process, which needs professional software personnel to develop the automatic test system on the basis of being familiar with the debugging method and process of the products, and to solidify the debugging method and process of the products through code.

[0004] The promotion and application of automatic test system improve the production efficiency of product to some extent, but the current development mode of automatic test system is low in efficiency, which hinders the promotion and application of automatic test system. Automatic test system (ATS) is to integrate all the excitation and measurement equipment needed for testing together, and to complete the excitation, acquisition, storage and analysis of response signal of various modes by computer control, to automatically monitor the state, test the performance and diagnose the fault of unit under test (UUT). Automatic test system is the product of the combination of measurement instrument and computer technology, software technology, interface technology, communication and network technology. The development process of automatic test system is essentially the process of coding the test method and process of unit under test, so the developer needs to be familiar with the test method and process of unit under test. Generally, the automatic test system developer is familiar with software code, but knows little about the unit under test, so before developing the automatic test system, the developer needs to learn and understand the test method through the design file of unit under test, such as product specification, test rules and other files, or through product technical personnel, which reduces the development efficiency of automatic test system. In order to improve the development efficiency of automatic test system, the technical personnel familiar with the test method and process of product can be responsible for the development task of automatic test system test program set, and the software personnel can be responsible for the development of automatic test system bottom drive, which puts forward higher requirements for the software ability of product technical personnel.

[0005] In view of the problems of low efficiency of conventional automatic test system development mode, the existing debugging process can only guide manual debugging of workers, and cannot be seamlessly connected with automatic test system. The debugging process develops towards digitalization from the aspects of design mode, content structure, management and application. The digitalized debugging process can be directly recognized, called and executed by automatic test system, which omits the development process of automatic test system, and only needs software professionals to maintain the bottom drive of automatic test system. Instrument operation is an important part of the content of debugging process, which describes the instrument parameter setting and operation method. When the conventional debugging process compiles this part of content, the actual operation is described in words, which can be understood by the operator. The content of digitalized debugging process must be digitalized and structured, which lays the foundation for the automatic execution of digitalized debugging process. The debugging process of electronic product is to generate excitation signal by instrument, output to measuring instrument after being processed by product to be adjusted, and give the final measurement result. The instruments commonly used in the debugging of electronic product generally include signal source, spectrum analyzer, power meter, signal analyzer, audio analyzer and oscilloscope, and the specific operation of the instrument in the debugging process is described in detail in the content of debugging process for reference by the on-site operator.

[0006] The instrument selection and instrument operation are important components of the debugging process content, are the basis for ensuring the accurate measurement of product test performance indicators, the instrument operation description should be combined with the actual operation, its content should be concise and accurate, and improve the test efficiency. The specific content includes two parts of instrument selection and instrument operation. The instrument selection needs to specify the instrument name, model, range and other contents. The instrument operation needs to describe the operation steps, operation sequence, parameter value set, reading result and other contents. In the instrument selection aspect, the functions of each instrument need to be clear, such as the signal source for product RF excitation signal, and the output range of each model; the spectrum analyzer is used to measure the RF signal output by the measured product, which can measure various frequency domain signals; the power meter is used to measure the power amplifier product, and the power meter is divided into through type power meter and peak power meter; the signal analyzer is used for detailed analysis of RF signals; the audio analyzer is used to generate and test audio signals; the oscilloscope is used to measure time domain signals. The instrument operation part describes the detailed instrument operation steps, determines which key to operate first, sets how many values, rotates which button, observes which waveform and other operations.

[0007] At present, the text-based debugging process can only guide the on-site workers to manually operate, cannot automatically execute the instruments and other equipment, and cannot seamlessly connect with the automatic test system. The digital debugging process structures and digitizes the text-based debugging process content, realizes automatic execution of the debugging process, and improves the product debugging efficiency. The instrument information structuring is the basis of the digital debugging process, provides conditions for driving the automatic execution of the instruments, models the instrument information, and provides convenience for the digital debugging process editing.

[0041] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0042] At present, in the related technical field, the existing text-based debugging process can only guide on-site workers to manually operate, cannot drive instruments and other equipment to automatically execute, and cannot seamlessly connect with automatic test systems.

[0043] In order to solve this problem, various embodiments of the electronic product digital debugging process instrument model construction method of the present application are proposed.

[0069]

[0070] It should be noted that the instrument information is an important part of the debugging process content, which reflects the specific operation method of the instrument, and its model content covers the instrument information required for debugging process. According to the debugging process requirements, the instrument information is divided into 5 categories, which are instrument attribute, instrument diagram, instrument interface, instrument resource and instrument capability, and each type of information provides corresponding content for debugging process preparation.

[0071] (1) For instrument attribute, instrument attribute is used to determine the basic information of instrument, including name, model, function, program control interface, which is used to determine the specific instrument required by the debugging process.

[0072] (2) For instrument diagram, instrument diagram is used to visually display the shape characteristics of instrument, as well as the interface required by the debugging process content and the relative position of the interface, which is used to determine the product connection relationship related to the debugging process.

[0073] (3) For instrument interface, instrument interface is used to describe the detailed information of interface required by debugging process preparation, including interface name, signal direction, signal type, signal range, etc., which provides instrument interface reference for debugging process preparation.

[0074] (4) For instrument resource, instrument resource is used to show the instrument signal output and test capability, including its signal output or input capability, and signal test capability, which provides instrument selection reference for debugging process preparation.

[0075] (5) For instrument capability, instrument capability is used to show the settable functions of instrument itself, which can be automatically executed by digital debugging process using software system. The content related to instrument control of digital debugging process needs to conform to the setting function of instrument itself, and the setting function needs to be associated with the corresponding control instruction. Instrument capability contains capability name, control instruction, default parameter value name, default parameter value, whether there is return value, etc., which supports the instrument control part content contained in the debugging process.

[0076] As shown in Figure 4 After determining the elements of each instrument information in the instrument model, the instrument information is integrated and visually displayed by using software technology combined with UI design. Users can preview or use instrument model information through instrument model display interface, which is used for preparing electronic product digital debugging process.

[0077] After that, on the basis of the instrument information modeling display, the instrument structured information can be extracted from the instrument model according to the debugging process programming requirements, so as to realize the unified, standard and fast programming requirements of the debugging process. Meanwhile, in the case of having the instrument model display function, the instrument model of each type is created, the corresponding instrument information content of each type is determined, and thus the instrument model of each type is perfected.

[0078] The embodiment provides an electronic product digital debugging process instrument model construction method. According to the instrument operation information related to the digital debugging process content, classification is performed, and an instrument model is constructed by using software technology. Instrument information is structured and expressed, and is presented in a digital form to a debugging process programmer by using software technology. When the programmer programs the instrument operation part of the debugging process, text input is not needed any more, and digital programming can be realized by using software technology.

[0079] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the application, and does not limit the patent range of the application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent flow transformation obtained by using the content of the application specification and the drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection range of the application.
