Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced the Agilent T&M Toolkit version 2.0 with Test Automation, which provides the industry's fastest method of sequencing measurements and analyzing results, and is significantly easier to use than off-the-shelf test executive software. The new functionality easily automates instrument control and measurement sequences for design validation and prototype testing without using complex and often expensive test executives. "T&M Toolkit 2.0 provides the quickest and easiest way to gather measurement data, control instruments, create test sequences, generate results and build customized applications in a Microsoft environment," said Mark Pierpoint, vice president of Agilent's Measurement and Analysis Software Group. "T&M developers will benefit from greater test flexibility and faster analysis." The Agilent T&M Toolkit 2.0 makes it easy for engineers to create textual programs for Visual Studio(R) in a fully integrated, consistent test and measurement environment for multiple software languages. T&M Toolkit 2.0 adds new functionality to existing instrument connection tools, I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output monitoring and driver wizards, specialized test and measurement math, and graphs for creating applications in Visual Studio. New features of T&M Toolkit 2.0 with Test Automation allow engineers to: --Create tests using built-in branching logic, limit checking and debugging. --Automatically capture test results in XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. format, easily export them to Excel, or analyze them instantly using automatically generated control charts and histograms. --Quickly control and automate measurements by sequencing SCPI SCPI - Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments commands, VEE code, any Microsoft .NET See .NET. language code (including VB .NET, Managed C++ and C#), VXIplug&play, and IVI-COM drivers. Agilent T&M Software Tools The Agilent T&M Toolkit 2.0 suite of open component-based test and measurement software tools offers an easy-to-use interface that helps engineers boost productivity, reduce costs and accelerate time to market. Last year, Agilent announced support for both Microsoft(R) Visual Studio .NET A suite of programming languages and development tools from Microsoft that supports the .NET environment. Upon its introduction in 2001, it included Visual C# and .NET versions of Visual Basic and Visual C++. See .NET. and Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms .NET 2003. The Test Automation can function with or without Visual Studio .NET.
