Test and diagnostics product data representation

The Product Data Exchange using the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (PDES/STEP) Application Protocols for Electronics program will develop application protocols for communicating information between activities within the electronic life cycle. The program, abbreviated as PAP-E, will develop application protocols (APs) in accordance with the PDES/STEP development philosophy. Information modeling during the application protocol development process is an integral part of this philosophy. The project will include a demonstration of a selected portion of the developed APs representing test and integrated diagnostics information. A pilot AP development activity being conducted is described.<>
