FIG. 12 shows an example of the test result display screen 64 belonging to the second hierarchy. In this example, in the BER measurement, a BER result frame 641 indicating the BER result in percentage display is displayed.

[Report creation screen]
Since the report creation screen when the test target device 2 is a mobile terminal is the same as the screen (see FIG. 7) when the test target device 2 is a network device, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the test apparatus 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. It is assumed that the test target device 2 is a network device.

  The application selection screen control unit 22 displays the application selection screen 51 (see FIG. 3) on the display unit 12 of the touch panel 10 (step S11).

  The display screen control unit 21 determines whether a screen operation has been performed based on an operation signal from the operation unit 11 of the touch panel 10 (step S12).

  Specifically, in FIG. 3, for example, when a tester touches a display area including Ethernet characters with a fingertip, the operation unit 11 outputs a signal indicating that to the display screen control unit 21. In this case, the display screen control unit 21 determines that the screen operation has been performed on the application selection screen 51, and can recognize that the Ethernet application has been selected. The display screen control unit 21 outputs a signal indicating the selected application to the application unit 31. The application unit 31 loads the program of the selected application into the memory.

  If it is determined in step 12 that there is a screen operation, the display screen control unit 21 determines whether or not to start a test (step S13). If it is not determined that there is a screen operation, step 12 Repeat the process.

  Specifically, when the test execution button 515 is touched on the application selection screen 51 shown in FIG. 3, the operation unit 11 outputs a signal indicating that to the display screen control unit 21. In this case, the display screen controller 21 determines that the test start instruction has been issued by the tester, and determines to start the test in step S13. Here, the test signal used in the test and other test conditions may be set as predetermined values for each application in advance, and the test may be set according to the selected application. Alternatively, the test signal used in the test and other test conditions may be set. If the test execution button 515 is touched, the test may not be started.

  In step S13, when it is not determined that the test is started, the display screen control unit 21 determines whether or not there is an instruction to switch between layers (step S14).

  Specifically, for example, in FIG. 3, the display screen control unit 21 switches between layers when a signal indicating that the test signal setting button 511 or the test condition setting button 512 is touched is input from the operation unit 11. It is determined that there was an instruction.

  If it is determined in step S14 that there has been an instruction to switch between layers, the screen switching unit 21a between layers executes processing to switch screens between layers (step S15). In step S15, each screen is displayed on the display unit 12. That is, step S15 corresponds to a display step according to the present invention.

  Specifically, for example, in FIG. 3, when the inter-layer screen switching unit 21 a inputs a signal indicating that the test signal setting button 511 is touched from the operation unit 11, the currently selected application selection screen is displayed. A control signal is output to the test signal setting screen control unit 23 so as to switch from 51 to the test signal setting screen 52 (see FIG. 4). In this case, the test signal setting screen control unit 23 executes display control for displaying the test signal setting screen 52 on the display unit 12.

  In step S14, when it is not determined that there is an instruction for switching between layers, the display screen control unit 21 determines whether there is an instruction for switching within a layer (step S16). Specifically, for example, in the test signal setting screen 52 shown in FIG. 4, the display screen control unit 21 inputs a signal indicating that the left arrow button 523 or the right arrow button 524 is touched from the operation unit 11. In this case, it is determined that there is an instruction to switch within the hierarchy.

  If it is determined in step S16 that there is an instruction to switch within the hierarchy, the screen switching unit 21b within the hierarchy executes a process of switching the screen within the hierarchy (step S17). In this step S17, each screen is displayed on the display unit 12. That is, step S17 corresponds to the display step according to the present invention.

  Here, when the signal indicating that the left arrow button 523 has been touched is input from the operation unit 11, the intra-layer screen switching unit 21 b changes from the currently displayed test signal setting screen 52 to the test result display screen 54 ( A control signal is output to the test result display screen control unit 25 so as to switch to FIG. In this case, the test result display screen control unit 25 executes display control for displaying the test result display screen 54 on the display unit 12.

  On the other hand, when the signal indicating that the right arrow button 524 is touched is input from the operation unit 11, the intra-layer screen switching unit 21b changes from the currently displayed test signal setting screen 52 to the test condition setting screen 53 (see FIG. 5), a control signal is output to the test condition setting screen control unit 24. In this case, the test condition setting screen control unit 24 executes display control for displaying the test condition setting screen 53 on the display unit 12.

  If it is not determined in step S16 that there is an instruction to switch within the hierarchy, the display screen control unit 21 performs a predetermined process according to the tester's touch operation (step S18). For example, in the test signal setting screen 52 shown in FIG. 4, when the display screen control unit 21 inputs a signal indicating that the help button 516 has been touched from the operation unit 11, the help information from the setting information storage unit 27. And help information is displayed on the display unit 12.

  If it is determined in step S13 described above that the test is to be started, the test control device 30 executes the test. Specifically, the application unit 31 executes the selected application and outputs test information such as a test signal and other test conditions to the signal transmission unit 32. The signal transmission unit 32 outputs a test signal including the test information. It outputs to the test object apparatus 2 (step S19).

  The device under test 2 outputs a response signal in response to the test signal to the signal receiving unit 33. The signal receiving unit 33 receives the response signal (step S20) and outputs it to the application unit 31. The application unit 31 analyzes the response signal (step S21), and stores the test result information included in the response signal in the test result information storage unit 28 via the display operation control device 20.

  As a result, the test result display screen control unit 25 can display the test result information on the display unit 12 by reading the test result information from the test result information storage unit 28. Further, the report creation screen control unit 26 can create a report of the test result information by reading the test result information from the test result information storage unit 28.

  In addition, after the above-described processing of step S15, step S17, step S18, and step S21 is completed, the process returns to step S12.

  As described above, the test apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment conceptually classifies a plurality of screens related to a test into upper and lower parts, and details about a selected application with a large category (first hierarchy screen) of selecting an application on the upper side. Since a small category (second layer screen) for performing appropriate settings is divided on the lower side, a test apparatus that can be easily operated can be provided.

  In addition, since the test apparatus 1 in the present embodiment only performs screen transition in the second layer screen during the test execution after selecting the application, the operation is simpler and easier to understand than the conventional one, and is multifunctional. Even if it becomes, operation becomes easy.
