A circuit structure may include first and second transmission lines, each with a center conductor extending along or between one or more spaced-apart conducting surfaces. A conducting surface, such as a ground, reference, or signal-return plane, of the first transmission line may have an orientation that is transverse to the orientation of a conducting surface of the second transmission line. Each of the conducting surfaces of the first transmission line may contact one or more of the conducting surfaces of the second transmission line. In some examples, one or both of the transmission lines are slablines, and in some examples, the contacting edges or edges adjacent the contacting edges of the respective conductive surfaces are curved.

A cross-platform interface tool provides a common interface for any hardware or software component having some advertising mechanism listing its features, input, and output requirements. The advertising mechanism can take a number of different forms, including data, a software object definition, or a communications system. The cross-platform interface tool includes a parsing mechanism for parsing through a component description associated with at least one of the plurality of components to gather information relating to the components. A component interface creator automatically generates a component interface based on the information gathered by the parsing mechanism.

A method, system and computer program product is disclosed for conducting a test in a distributed fashion in a test environment. A host or client may define a test for testing units under test to evaluate the parameters and characteristics of the units under test. The host or client can distribute at least a portion of the test to a remote instrument that includes a worker. The worker enables the instrument to perform at least portion of the test defined in the host or client. The instrument conduct the at least a portion of the test and may provide the results of the at least a portion of the test for the host or client. As such, the present invention allows the use of multiple resources on a network to conduct the test in a distributed fashion.

An instrument-based distributed computing system is disclosed that accelerates the measurement, analysis, verification and validation of data in a distributed computing environment. A large computing work can be performed in a distributed fashion using the instrument-based distributed system. The instrument-based distributed system may include a client that creates a job. The job may include one or more tasks. The client may distribute a portion of the job to one or more remote workers on a network. The client may reside in an instrument. One or more workers may also reside in instruments. The workers execute the received portion of the job and may return execution results to the client. As such, the present invention allows the use of instrument-based distributed system on a network to conduct the job and facilitate decreasing the time for executing the job.

Systems and methods are provided for the design, development and execution of a graphical user interface using a state machine based programming paradigm integrated with a componentized graphical user interface. The present invention generates a graphical state machine representation of the graphical user interface including states for elements of the graphical user interface and any events associated with these elements. The state diagram model provides a graphical structure for handling events associated with the graphical user interface, such as events generated by inputs provided by a user via a graphical user interface element. Furthermore, functionality for the graphical user interface, such as underlying control structure, state management, and event processing can be implemented with a high level textual programming language integrated with the graphical state machine.

A mechanism for exploiting the data gathered about a system model during the system design phase to aid the identification of errors subsequently detected in a deployed system based on the system model is disclosed. The present invention utilizes the coverage analysis from the design phase that is originally created to determine whether the system model as designed meets the specified system requirements. Included in the coverage analysis report is the analysis of which sets of test vectors utilized in simulating the system model excited individual components and sections of the system model. The present invention uses the information associated with the test vectors to select appropriate test vectors to use to perform directed testing of the deployed system so as to confirm a suspected fault.

In one embodiment, a system model models characteristics of a real-world system. The system model includes a plurality of sub-portions that each correspond to a component of the real-world system. A plurality of test vectors are applied to the system model and coverage achieved by the test vectors on the sub-portions of the system model is measured. In response to a failure of the real world system, a suspected failed component of the real-world system is matched to a particular sub-portion of the system model. A test vector to be applied to the real-world system to test the suspected failed component is selected in response to coverage achieved on the particular sub-portion of the system model.
