This tool is the key component of the Iberlab UX architecture . It is a last generation development environment, graphic and object oriented and with networked distributed operation capabilities. Through this application the test repertories are easily defined and automatically generated.

Iberlab/UX Developer's Toolkit offers the user its internal object orientation and component reuse technologies easily, graphically and directly: The test development can be done using drag and drop operations over off the shelf objects. Also, due to the generic driver concept, these designs can be done independently from the specific instrument equipment that will be used in the final test system. This approach means a high isolation capability from both, the particular details of a specific instrument, and also, from the instrumentation vendors. It is possible to change an instrument by another of the same class directly, without code re-writting.

Handling objects graphically also allows a significant reduction of the basic software skills needed for building a complex automated test system. It provides engineers focus on the development of pure test and measurement activities instead of basic software. Consequently a better resource utilization is achieved and a lower specialization degree of the development and maintenance personel is needed.

Iberlab/UX Developer's Toolkit reduces the costs of development and maintenance activities of automated test systems and the time into market of the final product. The quality of the application generated is increased by re-using well defined and tested objects and, together with its open and vendor independent nature, it constitutes an extremely valuable tool for automated test system developers.
