CATC Scripting Language (CSL) is used to write test scripts for the CATC BPT™,
a Bluetooth™ production tester. The BPT uses test scripts to execute Bluetooth
commands on devices under test (DUTs). Several test scripts are included with the
BPT software installation. They can be used as-is or modified by a test engineer.
Additionally, brand new, customized scripts may be written. This allows test
engineers to add specialized tests to suit specific production needs.
The test scripts that CATC supplies for the BPT are distributed in the directory in
which the BPT application is installed. They are identifiable by the .script exten-
sion.
If you plan to modify any of the scripts that come with the BPT, it's a good idea to
make backups of the original scripts before making changes.
CSL is based on C language syntax, so anyone with a C programming background
will have no trouble learning CSL. The simple, yet powerful, structure of CSL also
enables less experienced users to easily acquire the basic knowledge needed to start
writing custom scripts.
