This standard defines a high order language for testing. This language is designed to describe tests in terms that are independent of any specific test system. It has been constrained to ensure that it can be implemented on Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).
Language processors conforming to this standard shall support all capabilities as specified within C/ATLAS down to the level of nouns, modifiers, dimensional units and pin descriptors. In addition, this support shall include all nouns, modifiers, dimensional units and pin descriptors that are necessary to support the target ATE.
