Detailed Description
The following description of the present invention will be made in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings 1 to 4.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for implementing SCPI communication based on TCP according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method is used for realizing SCPI instruction communication between an upper computer and a board card in ATE equipment; which comprises the following steps:
step S11: in an upper computer, a TCPClient class of a client is packaged by using a C + + language as a basis, and the TCPClient class is used as an SCPI communication module of upper computer test software;
step S12: the SCPI communication module is communicated with the board card, so that the SCPI instruction can be reliably transmitted, and the information of the board card can be accurately acquired.
In the embodiment of the invention, a TCPClient class is mainly encapsulated by using a C + + language and is used for communicating with a board.
Firstly, TCP is a communication protocol based on byte stream, connection-oriented and reliable transport layer, which is two communication-oriented endpoints, and does not consider an intermediate network segment and a node, that is, a TCP connection is established between a client and a server before data exchange, so that data can be mutually transmitted, and a three-way handshake is established during transmission, thereby ensuring that data can be accurately and reliably transmitted between the client and the server. By utilizing the advantage of TCP communication, the invention encapsulates an SCPI communication module taking TCPClient as upper computer test software based on C + + language, and communicates with the board card through the SCPI communication module, thereby achieving the purposes of reliably transmitting SCPI instructions and accurately acquiring the information of the board card.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of communicating with the board through the SCPI communication module according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the step S12 includes the following steps:
step S121: adopting a TCP protocol and three-way handshaking, wherein the TCPClient class establishes a TCP formal connection between the upper computer client and the board card;
step S122: the SCPI communication module sends an SCPI instruction to the board card, and the board card receives the instruction and returns corresponding board card information to the upper computer client TCPClient;
step S123: and (6) ending.
Example 2
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating another method for implementing SCPI communication based on TCP according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, a method for implementing SCPI communication based on TCP is used to implement SCPI instruction communication between an upper computer and a board card in ATE equipment; which comprises the following steps:
step S21: in an upper computer, a TCPClient class + communication timeout control unit of a client is packaged by using a C + + language as a basis, and the TCPClient class + communication timeout control module is used as an SCPI (System configuration and input protocol) communication module of upper computer test software;
step S22: the SCPI communication module is communicated with the board card, so that the SCPI instruction can be reliably transmitted, and the information of the board card can be accurately acquired.
In the embodiment of the invention, a communication timeout control module is added on the basis of the embodiment 1, so that the problem of deadlocking caused by the fact that data feedback cannot be obtained in the data connection, sending or receiving operation in the communication process of the upper computer and the board card is solved.
Specifically, the communication timeout control module mainly includes three parts: connection Timeout control (Connect Timeout), send Timeout control (Send Timeout), and receive Timeout control (Recv Timeout). The connection timeout control is mainly responsible for monitoring whether the connection between the TCPClient and the board card is successful, if the connection is not successful, the connection timeout control jumps out of the waiting time within the specified time to throw out the connection timeout error, and the program is prevented from being blocked. Similarly, the sending and receiving overtime control is respectively responsible for monitoring whether the sending/receiving data is successful in the communication process, and if data feedback cannot be obtained within the specified time, the sending/receiving overtime control jumps out of waiting and throws out sending/receiving errors, thereby avoiding the program from being stuck due to infinite waiting.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating another process of communicating with the board through the SCPI communication module according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the step S22 includes the following steps:
step S221: adopting a TCP protocol and three-way handshaking, wherein the TCPClient class establishes a TCP formal connection between the TCPClient of the upper computer client and the board card; and the communication timeout control unit monitors whether the connection between the client TCPClient and the board card is successful, if the connection is not successful, the communication timeout control unit jumps out to wait within a specified time, throws out the information of connection timeout error, and executes step S223; otherwise, go to step S222;
step S222: the SCPI communication module sends an SCPI instruction to the board card, and the board card receives the instruction and returns corresponding board card information to the upper computer client TCPClient; the communication timeout control unit monitors whether the data transmission/reception is successful in the communication process, and if data feedback cannot be obtained within the specified time, the communication timeout control unit waits for the data transmission/reception and throws out transmission/reception error information; otherwise, executing step S223 until all SCPI instructions are sent to the board card;
step S223: and (6) ending.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, so that all the equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the description and the drawings of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
