`Semi-ATE` is a tester- and instruments **AGNOSTIC** framework for **Semi**conductor **ATE** ASIC testing projects.
This means that the system is **not** build around a specific instrument (let's consider an ATE tester for a moment as a super instrument), it rather focuses on
organizing semiconductor testing in such a way that **all** use- (and special) corner cases have their well known place. This enables the users (read: DE's, TCE's, TE's & PE's) to focus on the **REAL** work, being the writing of good, fast and stable tests. Organizing tests into test-programs and test-programs in to flows is handled by wizards, so the only code that needs writing is the actual test! (motto: [Code is our enemy](http://www.skrenta.com/2007/05/code_is_our_enemy.html))
The `Semi-ATE` package is written purely in Python (noarch) and provides besides libraries also a plugin to the [Spyder](https://www.spyder-ide.org/) IDE.
## Packages
The Semi-ATE project is maintained in this single repository, however it is released as a set of packages (all with the same version number) to accomodate the different use-cases.

## Installation (on a MiniSCT)
1. login as sct/sct
2. in the home directory there should be a directory `repos`
3. in `repos` there is a `Semi-ATE` directory (holding the relevant Semi-ATE git repositories)
- `TCC_actuators` : git clone
5.
## Run (on a MiniSCT)
1. Make sure you have a "test cell" configured as follows :
---
===
Installation of the packages can be achieved via `conda` or [pip](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#use-pip-for-installing).
### Installation using pip
Each package can be installed using `python -m pip install <package-name>`:
```Console
python -m pip install semi-ate-common
python -m pip install semi-ate-project-database
python -m pip install semi-ate-sammy
python -m pip install semi-ate-plugins
python -m pip install semi-ate-testers
python -m pip install semi-ate-spyder
python -m pip install semi-ate-apps-common
python -m pip install semi-ate-control-app
python -m pip install semi-ate-master-app
python -m pip install semi-ate-test-app
```
Or all at once:
```Console
python -m pip install semi-ate-common semi-ate-project-database semi-ate-sammy semi-ate-plugins semi-ate-testers semi-ate-spyder semi-ate-apps-common semi-ate-control-app semi-ate-master-app semi-ate-test-app
```
### Installation via Conda
To be defined
### Development Process
Test program development process documentation can be found [here](docs/project/SemiATEDevelopment)
## The semi-ate-control-app package
This package provides some a command line tool (`launch_control`). In order to use this application you have to configure it first. This tool should be run on some test node, i.e. some host controlling measurement instruments. It communicates with the master application from the `semi-ate-master-app` package by MQTT. The master application sends mqtt-messages to steer the control application. The control application itself is responsible for loading/unloading and executing some test-program. Test results, i.e. STDF records, are send back to the master application.
### Configuration
Configuration of the control application is done by writing a JSON file called **control_config_file.json**. The following key-value-pairs have to be defined:
```JSON
{
"broker_host": "127.0.0.1",
"broker_port": 1883,
"device_id": "SCT-82-1F",
"site_id": "0",
"loglevel": 10
}
```
* `broker_host` defines the ip address of the mqtt broker.
* `broker_port` defines the prot of the mqtt broker.
* `device_id` defines a unique id of the so-called test-system. A test system can contain several host running he control applications. And some host running the master application.
* `site_id` is the unique identifier of the host running the control application
* `loglevel` defines the log-level of the control application
The _device_id_ and _site_id_ is used to build unique mqtt-message-topics automatically. The idea is that no test-system influences some other test system.
### Starting the Control Application
We assume that the semi-ate-control-app has been installed in the current python environment. Further configuration **control_config_file.json** file is located in the current folder.
**IMPORTANT**: The configuration file has to be named **control_config_file.json**
```Console
(environment)> launch_control
control 0|21/03/2022 04:14:10 PM |INFO |mqtt connected
control 0|21/03/2022 04:14:10 PM |INFO |control state is: idle
```
