Abstract: An SOC tester having test cards with memory cards is presented. The SOC tester may be running a test on a device under test using test programs stored on one set of memory cards. Test programs may be down loaded to a second set of memory cards during testing using test programs from the first set of memory cards or during off times.

Abstract: A license request for an application is transmitted from a license proxy process to a license server. A license from the license server is then received at the license proxy process. Thereafter, the license proxy process stores license information corresponding to the license in memory that is shared by the application and the license proxy process.

Abstract: A license proxy process receives an indication that an application is licensed and, after receiving the indication, periodically transmits a heartbeat to a license server.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a license proxy are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises an application, a license proxy process, communicatively coupled to the application, to periodically transmit a heartbeat to a license server, and a monitoring agent to monitor the license proxy process, and upon detecting a failure of the license proxy process while at least one license is being used by the application, to change a status to indicate at least one license needs to be reacquired by the license proxy process.

Abstract: Sequences of instructions stored on machine-readable media cause a machine to execute one or more ordered sequences of tests and control functions in a test program, with execution of the tests causing stimuli to be applied to an electrical device under test. Upon execution of a control function that specifies a GOTO, the instructions redirect test program flow to a target of the GOTO (with the target not immediately following the GOTO in test program order). Upon execution of a control function that specifies a RETURN, the instructions cause test program flow to be redirected to an element of the test program that sequentially follows the GOTO. Methods using a GOTO to jump between different sequences of tests, and methods for returning without a RETURN element, are also disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a license proxy process transmits to a license server a request for a license that is to be shared by a plurality of applications. After the license proxy process receives the license from the license server, it stores license information corresponding to the license in a memory that is shared by the plurality of applications and the license proxy process.

Abstract: A dynamic waveform manager and an application policy are provided to an electronic device that executes an application requiring the use of waveforms accessed from a waveform table characterized by a limited number of entries. The application policy contains waveform sequencing information specific to the application. The application may utilize any number of waveforms that are typically stored in a memory separate from the waveform table. The dynamic waveform manager monitors the execution of the application, and manages loading and unloading of waveforms required by the application into and out of the waveform table such that each waveform required by the application is loaded in the waveform prior to and at least by the time it is needed by the application. The dynamic waveform manager accesses the application policy to reference the waveform sequencing information specific to the application for use in determining when and which waveforms to load and unload to and from the waveform table.

Abstract: The present invention is a graphical user interface with a panning window interface that allows presentation of a high-level view of a dense graphical map structure simultaneously with a detailed sub-portion of the dense graphical map structure. The graphical user interface provides a movable panning window that allows an operator to select the portion of the overall map structure to view in detail. The detailed view of the selection portion of the overall map structure is presented in a detail panel of the screen. Enhancements to the panning window interface include highlighting of map structure elements on the screen selectable via a highlight selection menu or search and highlight capability.
