Shopfloor Software – i1000 In-Circuit Test Software
应用文章
As different users have different setups for their shopfloor operations, it is impossible to have a generic application that will be able to support all kinds of shopfloor server communications. Therefore, shopfloor operations require a standalone shopfloor client application to handle the communication between the i1000 software and the shopfloor server. This allows the i1000 software to operate more efficiently and software revisions are much manageable. The i1000 software offers a simple method of information transfer between itself and the external shopfloor client application. Instead of a complicated software to software communications using DLLs, Command sets, etc. which may be difficult for the user to learn and comprehend, the software uses a set of files with a pre-defined format as the medium of information transfer. Although this may seem outdated and old fashioned, it is easy to understand and effective. This allows the user to get the shopfloor client application up and running faster, without the need to spend too much time working on the communication code itself.
