Method and system for performing installation and configuration management of tester instrument modules
First Claim
1. A method for managing multiple hardware test module versions, software components, and tester operating system (TOS) versions in a modular test system, wherein the modular test system comprises a system controller for controlling at least one site controller, and wherein the at least one site controller controls at least one hardware test module, comprising:
- installing the TOS versions compatible with the modular test system in an archive;
installing vendor software components corresponding to the hardware test module versions in the archive;
creating system profiles for describing vendor software components corresponding to the hardware test module versions and the TOS versions;
selecting a system profile for the modular test system, wherein the system profile comprises a set of compatible vendor software components and a selected TOS for testing a particular hardware test module version; and
activating the selected TOS on the system controller and the at least one site controller.

Abstract
A method for managing multiple hardware test module versions, software components, and tester operating system (TOS) versions in a modular test system is disclosed. The method includes installing the TOS versions compatible with the modular test system in an archive and installing vendor software components corresponding to the hardware test module versions in the archive. The method further includes creating system profiles for describing vendor software components corresponding to the hardware test module versions and the TOS versions, selecting a system profile for the modular test system, where the system profile includes a set of compatible vendor software components and a selected TOS for testing a particular hardware test module version, and activating the selected TOS on the modular test system.
