IEEE Trial-Use Standard for
Automatic Test Markup Language
(ATML) for Exchanging Automatic
Test Information via XML:
Exchanging Test Adapter Information
The scope of this trial-use standard is the definition of an exchange format, utilizing XML, for exchanging
the test adapter information by defining the interface between the UUT and the test station, which includes
the description of the test adapter (e.g., physical and electrical characteristics, capabilities/performance, and
identification/classification).
