Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Virtual Instruments Dashboard

A robust automated test framework built to demonstrate hardware-software orchestration, test automation pipelines, and telemetry analysis without physical hardware dependencies. The application acts as a central engineering console interfacing over virtual SCPI command buses to synchronize instruments, analyze waveforms, and log system compliance data.

🛠️ System Architecture & Features

• Virtual Instrumentation Engine: Implements software-defined emulators for an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and a Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO).
• SCPI Command Interrogation: Fully utilizes Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments syntax mapping (e.g., :FUNC, :FREQ, :MEAS:VPP?) over a virtual abstraction layer.
• Realistic Hardware Emulation: Injects continuous white noise (Johnson–Nyquist emulation) and processes real mathematical signals to simulate physical component degradation and reading jitter.
• Automated Validation Test Engine: Run high-speed parameter sweeps across discrete frequency spectrums with real-time pass/fail evaluation based on dynamic guardbands.
