Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an automatic testing system and a testing method for electronic information equipment, and relates to the field of electronic information equipment testing. Background Art

[0002] Integration testing runs through the entire life cycle of electronic information equipment development, production and use. It usually requires an automatic test system equipped with test requirements at each stage. The hardware of the automatic test system is mainly integrated with a small amount of special test resources assisted by general test instruments, boards and other test resources. A lot of work is concentrated on the development, debugging and maintenance of the test system software. Therefore, the development efficiency of the test system software largely determines the development progress of the automatic test system. To improve the efficiency of test system software development, it is necessary to mainly realize the following test software capabilities: 1. Migration and reuse; 2. Synchronous development of test programs (hereinafter referred to as: TP); 3. Interchangeability of test resources.

[0003] At present, the industry usually uses signal-oriented technology to achieve the above capabilities. Signal generation and measurement are described through a signal-oriented special language, and test resources are automatically and dynamically allocated and controlled without directly controlling test resources. The test software platform based on this technology has been applied in maintenance and detection equipment, mainly for rapid detection and fault location of electronic information equipment during use, but compared with the traditional instrument-oriented method, there are the following problems. 1. First, since it uses a signal-oriented language, it is necessary to customize the compiler according to the TP development environment to translate the signal-oriented language into a language that can be recognized by the TP development environment; secondly, since it is not directly oriented to test resources, it is necessary to solve the problem of automatic and dynamic allocation of test resources; therefore, the test software platform based on this technology is relatively technically difficult, has a long development cycle, and is costly; 2. It is more suitable for fully automatic testing that does not require human intervention, such as maintenance and inspection during the use phase of electronic information equipment. It has no obvious advantages for semi-automatic testing such as debugging and testing that require certain human intervention. This type of semi-automatic testing is very common in the production phase of electronic information equipment, especially in the research and development phase; since in the semi-automatic testing process, it is necessary to pay attention to a large amount of test process information, and it is necessary to manually select and control test resources, and grasp the input and output conditions of signals, etc. However, the automatic allocation of test resources makes the signal link unclear, especially when the link is complex, the signal link situation is difficult to clearly grasp, which will increase the difficulty of troubleshooting during debugging and testing.

[0004] Among them, the prior art CN109359025A discloses a more efficient electronic information equipment automatic test system and test method, which has the characteristics of higher transplantation and reusability. However, the prior art and background technology both focus on the improvement of the automatic test system, and there is little research on the standardization improvement of the electronic information equipment under test. Summary of the invention

[0005] Through the above background technology explanation, the existing technology is mostly focused on the improvement research of automatic testing systems, and using automatic testing systems to reversely improve the electronic information equipment under test, thereby improving the convenience and standardization of automatic testing and improving the performance of the electronic information equipment under test, is the inventive concept of the present invention.

[0006] The invention provides an automatic test system for electronic information equipment, comprising a measurement and control computer and electronic information equipment to be tested, wherein the measurement and control computer converts a test control command into a data stream and sends the data stream to the electronic information equipment to be tested; the measurement and control computer comprises a controller, an input unit, a control unit, an application unit, and a search unit, and is characterized in that the electronic information equipment to be tested is divided into modules, and the divided modules include a power supply module, an image transmission module, a RAM memory module, a data storage module, a network communication module, a 1553B communication module, an RS422 serial port communication module, a switch quantity control module, and a DSP processor module.

[0007] The power supply module provides different voltage requirements for the electronic information equipment under test; the electronic information equipment under test needs to be provided with a 28V DC voltage externally during operation, and there are different voltage requirements inside the electronic information equipment under test, and the secondary power supply needs to be converted into a corresponding working voltage in the electronic information equipment under test for the normal operation of related components, and the power supply module can be tested and monitored according to the secondary power supply voltage state; during the test, the power supply module includes two types of faults, one is undervoltage or power failure; the other is voltage instability caused by interference; The image transmission module is used to receive data information for image transmission and pass the digital information of the image to the DSP processor module for operation and processing. The failures of the image transmission module include the following two types: one is the inability to receive and transmit image data information; the other is the loss of image data information, resulting in erroneous image processing result information that makes the electronic information equipment under test unable to operate normally.

[0008] The DSP processor module outputs correct instructions for the DSP to process corresponding data information during the operation of the electronic information equipment under test. Functional failures in the operation of the DSP processor module will directly affect the safe operation of the electronic information equipment under test.

[0009] The RAM memory module and the DSP processor module perform direct and rapid data exchange and run the algorithm program for image data processing; the correctness of the data stored in the RAM memory module is the key to whether the electronic information equipment under test can operate normally; The data storage module uses NandFlash memory to store the algorithm program for DSP to process data; its failure will cause the processor to be unable to run the algorithm program to process data, and the system output result value will be abnormal, resulting in functional failure; if the data storage module is completely damaged, the image processing algorithm data cannot be stored, which will result in the system having no output results, thereby causing a complete failure.

[0010] The network communication module is used to upload the BIT (built-in test) running program of the electronic equipment under test, and complete the uploading of the reference map and related template file algorithm program before the system runs. If this module fails, it will cause errors in the uploaded data and fail to run normally.

[0011] The 1553B communication module is used for transmitting and exchanging data information between the electronic information equipment under test and other control systems.

[0012] The RS422 serial communication module is used for data communication between the electronic information equipment under test and the control system. During operation, the electronic information equipment sends the result instructions of information processing to the subsequent control unit using serial communication. Normal operation of this module ensures the correct transmission of instructions; when a fault occurs, its failure mode is communication data error or communication failure.

[0013] The switch quantity control module is used to control the power on and off of related components during the normal operation of the electronic information equipment under test. A functional failure of this module will cause the electronic information equipment under test to operate in a chaotic manner, unable to work normally, and output unstable data information, affecting normal operation.

[0014] The present invention also provides a testing method using an automatic testing system for electronic information equipment, which divides the electronic information equipment under test into modules including a power supply module, an image transmission module, a RAM memory module, a data storage module, a network communication module, a 1553B communication module, an RS422 serial port communication module, a switch quantity control module, and a DSP processor module according to a functional fault modeling method, and establishes divided objects, selects built-in test schemes, implements built-in test verification, and completes the excitation and response of signals between the test system and the electronic information equipment under test according to the BIT technical analysis of the object under test and the failure mode of each object.

[0015] The electronic information equipment automatic test system is based on the combination of the ATML automatic test system and the BIT technology of the electronic information equipment under test. During the test, the automatic test system and the electronic information equipment under test send and receive test instructions through data communication. At the same time, the automatic test system drives the instrument to be applied to the object under test according to the demand signal information in the test process. The object under test of the functional test runs the BIT program of the device under test under the test stimulus conditions according to the corresponding instructions and determines the functional status result of the object under test. The automatic test system is designed based on the ATML standard to meet the requirements of configurable and portable test information, and the test is completed through the cooperation between the instrument system on the automatic test equipment and the device under test.

[0016] The 1553B communication interface in the electronic information equipment under test is used as the communication interface for sending system test instructions and receiving results. When 1553B data communication is in progress, the test instrument with 1553B communication function in the automatic test system acts as the only BC (Bus Controller) of the bus system and communicates data with the 1553B communication module of the device under test as the RT (Remote Terminal) of the bus. The overall test process is controlled by the automatic test system based on the relevant test programs of ATML to centralize the test information to control the main control program, including the analysis of test information, the control of test items and test processes and action information; according to the specific needs of each test, the automatic test system controls the instrument to provide the demand signal to the electronic equipment under test, that is, sends the corresponding test instructions, and the electronic information equipment under test runs the BIT self-test program to perform independent tests or cooperate with related test demand signal tests, that is, the automatic test system sends other stimulus signals required for the test, and the object under test responds to the corresponding test after receiving the stimulus, and puts the test results into the buffer, and finally transmits the test results back to the automatic test system through data communication; if necessary, the automatic test system collects and measures the output signals of the electronic information equipment under test according to the project test, and the final result is transmitted back to the automatic test system according to the standard protocol for interpretation, and the wrong data is displayed and the fault is displayed on the system human-computer interaction interface, and the test result information is output to the standard test result file at the same time.

[0017] In the test process, 1553B communication is used to send test instructions and receive test result information. In the overall test process, the automatic test system first downloads the built-in test program to the object under test, and the object under test sends the corresponding test instructions. Secondly, the electronic information equipment under test runs the built-in test program or the automatic test system provides other stimulus signals to configure the test. After the verification program is completed, the test result information is stored in the output memory of the data communication. Finally, the automatic test system or equipment reads the data for the next step of external analysis.

[0018] The test is divided into self-test items and associated test items: the self-test items use the BIT technology of the electronic information equipment under test to send corresponding test instructions to the electronic information equipment under test through the automatic test system, and the electronic information equipment under test runs the self-test program to complete the corresponding test items; the associated test items use the excitation and measurement signals of the instruments and equipment in the automatic test system to cooperate with the BIT technology of the electronic information equipment under test to complete the corresponding test items. The automatic test system sends the corresponding test instructions according to the test requirements and cooperates to generate the corresponding test excitation signals. The electronic information equipment under test runs the self-test program, and the output signal is finally judged by the automatic test system through the self-test program judgment or the running program execution, and the test is completed. The associated tests include RS422 serial communication test, 1553B communication test, switch input test and image transmission test.

[0019] The test method further includes: the test control computer converts the test control command into a data stream and sends it to the electronic information equipment under test; (1) the controller of the test control computer receives the relevant test data value or control command through an input unit; (2) The control unit loads the test protocol from the test library unit to the application unit of the measurement and control computer; (3) searching and connecting the electronic information equipment under test through a search unit; (4) the search unit determines whether the control unit supports the test protocol of the electronic information equipment under test that is searched; (5) If the result of the determination in step (4) is that the found electronic information equipment under test supports the test protocol, the controller tests the found electronic information equipment under test; (6) Disconnect the electronic information equipment under test from the control unit; (7) the control unit unloads the test protocol from the test library unit; Step (5) is: (5-1) The control unit of the measurement and control computer calls the test application program interface through the test library unit, and provides the test application program interface to the application unit of the measurement and control computer; (5-2) The control unit converts the test control command into a data packet according to the test protocol through the abstract unit; (5-3) The control unit transmits data packets from the interface unit to the electronic information equipment under test through the drive unit; (5-4) The controller analyzes the data packets received from the electronic information equipment under test through the abstract unit (5-5) The control unit outputs the test result of the analyzed data packet through the output unit.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) The module division of the electronic information equipment under test is realized, which increases the standardization and convenience of the test; (2) Use the automatic test system to reversely improve the electronic information equipment under test, thereby improving the convenience and standardization of automatic testing and improving the performance of the electronic information equipment under test.
