IEEE Recommended Practice for Using IEEE 1671.2(TM) Instrument Description Templates for Describing Synthetic Instrumentation for Classes of Instruments such as Waveform Generators, Digitizers, External Oscillators, and Up and Down Converters

This recommended practice provides Instrument Description templates, compliant with IEEE 1671.2, that providers of synthetic instruments should use to describe waveform generators, digitizers, external local oscillators, and up and down converter. Instrument Description templates, compliant with IEEE Std 1671.2-2012, that providers of synthetic instruments should use to describe waveform generators, digitizers, external local oscillators, and up and down converters are provided in this recommended practice. These synthetic instruments may be integrated in an automatic test system (ATS) that is to be used to test and diagnose a unit under test (UUT).
