Which programming language will you use to program the new UltraWave24G Instrument — Teradyne’s latest offering for MMW testing through 24GHz on UltraFLEXplus? VBA, VB.NET or C#? VBA continues to be a good choice, but as of IG-XL 10.40 on the UltraFLEX and UltraFLEXplus platforms, the “.NET Development in IG-XL” feature allows test engineers to program tests in VB.NET and C#. The demo program for the UW24G includes tests and DSP algorithms written in all 3 available languages: VBA, VB.NET and C#. We’ll use code from this demo program to compare and contrast the new .NET language options. We’ll review the Visual Studio IDE and it’s feature set.

The presentation will include detail on DSP routines written and running in .NET. This presentation will introduce RF test engineers to “.NET Development in IG-XL” for UltraFLEX and UltraFLEXplus platforms and focus on the benefits of using these modern languages for Test Engineering.
