PathWave Test Executive for Manufacturing (PTEM) is a plug-in that enhances the user experience in developing automated test programs using PathWave Test Automation Platform (TAP). With powerful PathWave Test Executive software, we eliminate the need to maintain or develop a test platform by users, especially in a manufacturing environment where a high mix of products exist, the maintenance, enhancement, and control of it could become challenging. Development of a test execution platform should not be a priority for valuable resources, instead optimizing and improving test coverage should be the key area of focus.

Prioritize the benefits

• Minimize programming and coding effort, promote code reuse with a common platform
• Create high-level steps, share them and gain the benefits of test standardization for repeatable use cases
• New and improved graphical switch manager, visualizes instrument and switch connections
• Easy learning curve, inexperienced users can quickly get involved with the features and tools available
• Inclusive at no extra cost, a set of library functions for multiple Keysight instruments 

• Developer version: KS8328A (Requires KS8400A PathWave Test Automation)
• Deployment version: KS8329A
• Software licenses are available as node-locked, transportable, or floating
• Licenses are available for purchase with 6-, 12-, 24- or 36-month support

Keysight PathWave Test Executive for Manufacturing (PTEM) — Developer Version is a software plug-in designed to enhance the user experience when developing automated test programs with the Keysight PathWave Test Automation Platform (TAP). PathWave Test Executive for Manufacturing software eliminates the need for users to maintain or develop a test platform, especially in a manufacturing environment where a high mix of products exists. Maintaining, enhancing, and controlling a test execution platform could become challenging.
