The NIST Metrology Interoperability Testbed
The testbed is a group of people and physical
resources located at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD, that support
development and testing of standards for components of dimensional
metrology systems. Our primary tie to industry is through the
AIAG Metrology Interoperability Team. (AIAG-MIPT). Read our
FY 2004
Testbed Activities Report.
Our Message: Interface standards for commercial
components allow interoperability of products from diverse vendors.
We describe this message in a slide
presentation. Also, read the trip
report from our recent demonstration of the I++DME and DML
interfaces at the IMTS 2004 show in Chicago.

NIST I++DME Test Suite
Version 3.0
The NIST test suite version 3.0 containing various
development utilities for implementations of the I++ DME interface
specification version 1.4 are contained in the file NISTI++DMEtestSuite3.0ForIppVer1.4.zip.
This zip file contains code and test programs to facilitate
implementations of the I++ DME specification version 1.4 on
both client and server sides of the interface. After downloading
and unzipping this file, refer to the users manual, NIST
I++DMEtestSuite3.0UsersManual.pdf, for more description
about this test suite distribution and instructions on how best
to use the test suite version 3.0.

NIST I++DME Test Suite Version 2.1
The NIST test suite version 2.1 containing various
development utilities for implementations of the I++ DME interface
specification version 1.30 are contained in the file NISTtestSuiteVer2.1ForIppVer1.30.zip.
This zip file contains code and test programs to facilitate
implementations of the I++ DME specification version 1.30 on
both client and server sides of the interface. After downloading
and unzipping this file, refer to the user's guide for more
instructions.
Documentation for the version 2.1 NIST Test Suite
is in NISTI++DMEtestSuite2.1UsersManual.pdf.
The NIST test suite version 2.1 fixes all known
and reported bugs in the NIST test suite version 2.0.

of the I++ DME interface specification version 1.1 are contained
in the file NISTtestSuiteVer1.1ForIppVer1.1.zip.
Documentation for the Test Suite above: NISTI++DMEtestSuite1.1UsersManual.pdf
NIST DML Test Suite Version
1.0
The NIST DML Test Suite (NDTS) is a set of tools
for vendors and end users of inspection software to test the
validity of Dimensional Markup Language (DML) output data. Version
1.0 of the test suite is a prototype implementation in that
it is an operational version of the test suite based on a subset
of features and associated tolerances found in DML Specification
2.1. This version 1.0 is a first step in introducing the concept
of the test suite and obtaining user feedback. Main components
of the test suite include a physical part and a test procedure
for generating the DML test results, a software utility for
evaluating the DML test results produced and a benchmark file
that is used in the evaluation process.
Everything needed to produce DML output for test
case 1 and perform an analysis of the output against the NIST
generated criteria is contained within the download file NISTDMLTestSuite_1_0.zip
with the exception of the physical part. The physical part must
be obtained by contacting NIST.
The User
Manual for the DML Test Suite is an HTML document that can
also be viewed from within the DML Test Utility.
