To register an OCX (ActiveX component) like EtsIf.ocx when open ETSMAIN.EXE, Insert a Record to the

Definition Text file as follows:

Begin Record, Register OCX

File, <Component>

End

Component: The name of an OCX or an ActiveX component needed to be registered.

Example:

Begin Record, Register OCX

File, EtsIf.ocx

End

5.1.13.2 External Application Interface

These applications can really be any windows application that interacts with Etsmain.exe through the Etsif.ocx

or the autoscript interface.

When Etsmain.exe clears all of its log windows and any external applications are running, it will make the

following entry the main log as a response message.

Function: Display=Clear

The external application designer may want to look for this message to clear the display of the external

application.

5.1.14 Auto Configuration Loading

The previous loaded ETS Configuration can be automatic loading when a phone (MSUT) is detected and ETS

“Auto Config Load” checked box of ETS option dialog was checked.

5.2 Script Utility

The script utility allows commands to be recorded and played back. Recorded sequences can be saved into and

restored from a file. The Script commands available are Record, Run, Step, Pause, Continue, Stop and

execution speed commands. Section 4.3 describes these operations in detail.

5.3 Control Panels

Control Panels are separate programs that interface to the ETS Main using the OLE automation interface. They

provide the end user with a graphical set of buttons, knobs, and gauges that control specific aspects of the

operation of the unit under test. Control panels may also interface to devices on a GPIB interface.

The current intent is that these programs be written in Visual Basic. Other languages could also be used.

5.4 Test Drivers

Test Drivers are separate programs that interface to the ETS Main using the OLE automation interface. They

perform formal automated tests for design verification or system test. User interfaces for these programs tend to

be simpler than that of the control panels and a log file is generated recording the results of the test. The output

from these tests could be analyzed using Excel or other spreadsheets.

The current intent is that these programs be written in Visual Basic. Other languages could also be used.
