Certified ATML Developer (CATMLD) Certification Program by Tonex
The Certified ATML Developer program validates knowledge and practical skills in using ATML standards (IEEE 1671.x) to develop, integrate, and exchange automatic test information across systems, stations, and instruments.
Learning Objectives
- Understand ATML standards (IEEE 1671, 1671.1–1671.6, 1641).
- Create ATML test descriptions, UUT descriptions, and test results.
- Use ATML in ATE system interoperability.
- Develop calibration certificates, conformance certificates, and ATML-based data exchange.
- Apply XML schemas, namespaces, and digital signatures in ATML.
