2 Introduction
The Test Management Software (Generation 5), or more easily namedTM G5, is the
basis for the execution of Test Programs. It contains drivers, runtime environment and
components. The Test Program which is usually distributed separately, requires theTM
G5 environment, to work successfully. TheTM G5 and the Test Program Software
together are called a Test Application.
The Test Application is used in different environments such as Final Production Test
and Printed Circuit Board Test, in the Service and for Calibration on different test
systems (e.g. Single Test System, Scanner Test System, Burn In, Diagnosis, etc.) to
record, protocol, analyze and evaluate as well as save.
R&S TM G5 Basic usage of the TM G5
Starting the Test Program
User Manual 5017.1565.12 - 01.12 12
For each DUT (-family) there is separate Test Program.
3 Basic usage of the TM G5
This chapter comprises general information on software operation. Device-specific,
self-explanatory features are not described.
3.1 Starting the Test Program
TheTM G5 is not intended to run as a standalone package. TheTM G5 runs in the
background with a specific DUT Test Program.
► Double click on the icon presented by the Test Program (e.g. UCS2010 for
SMU/SMA or UCS2150 for CMU/CRTU) to start the Test Program.
The Test Program shows a Splash Screen during the initialization and opens
theTM G5 Desktop afterwards.

Software Option
Description
MB-TMS-K1B BASE PACKAGE
Software option that activates theTM G5 Base
Package.
Additional to the base package either the Standard
Edition or the Enterprise Edition must be activated
to get theTM G5 running.
MB-TMS-K1S STANDARD EDITION
Software option that activates theTM G5 Standard
Edition.
The Standard Edition permits you to perform tests,
create test reports and start the additional tools
(see section 7 "Additional Tools" [p. 171]).
The Base Package must
also be activated to get
theTM G5 running.
MB-TMS-K1E ENTERPRISE EDITION
Software option that activates theTM G5 Enterprise
Edition.
The Enterprise Edition permits you to perform
tests, create test reports and start the additional
tools (see 7 "Additional Tools" [p. 171]).
Additionally, the access to theTM G5 Development
Libraries is enabled.
TheTM G5 Development Libraries are used to
develop Test Programs.
The Base Package must
also be activated to get
theTM G5 running.
Besides theTM G5 also Test Programs can assume Software Options. These options
must be available as well.
3.2 Licensing theTM G5
Licensing is the process of obtaining and installing Software Options and the
appropriate Option Keys to enableTM G5 to run on your computer. The licensing
replaces the old activation mechanism (see section 6.1 "Activating theTM G5" [p.169]).
At least two software options are required to run theTM G5; the option "MB-TMS-K1B
BASE PACKAGE" and either the option "MB-TMS-K1S STANDARD EDITION" or the
option "MB-TMS-K1E ENTERPRISE EDITION". For further information see the table
below.

User Manual 5017.1565.12 - 01.12 14
The R&S License Key Manager verifies the Software Options. If the check fails, a
message will be displayed, for example:
The R&S License Key Manager is installed automatically. It is an inherent part of
theTM G5 installation.
The R&S License Key Manager is used to inspect the status of the available options,
and to install or remove options.

The option keys, the card reader and the smartcard can be obtained via the standard
Rohde & Schwarz purchase channels. For more information contact the Service
Support Centre (see section 8 "Service Support" [p. 194]).
For further information see the Help of the R&S License Key Manager.
► Use the "Software Options" command of the menu bar to open the R&S License
Key Manager.
Distribution of Software Options 3.2.1
The Software Options and the appropriate Option Keys are written to a smartcard. The
smartcard must be inserted into a card reader and the card reader must be connected
to your computer to get theTM G5 running.

3.3.4.3 Device Summary Tab
The "Device Summary" Tab displays the Overall Test State of the Master Test
Sequence and Master Test Sequence Appendix (see section 3.7.1 "Performing the
Master Test Sequence" [p. 54] and section 3.7.2 "Performing the Master Test
Sequence Appendix" [p. 54]) of all registered devices. The status is indicated by easily
understood icons. Registering a device, see Multiple Device Testing Mode (see section
4.3.1 "Multiple Device Testing Mode (only with scanner extension)" [p. 131]).
In addition to general device information, such as scanner port, designation, material
number, etc., the current cycle information is listed. The column "Cycle" will only be
filled if child tests are defined. For further information see section 4.12 "Test Family
and Test Cycles" [p. 149].
Furthermore, the Current Test State and the Intermediate Test State of the Master Test
Sequence and Master Test Sequence Appendix are shown (see section 3.7.1
"Performing the Master Test Sequence" [p. 54] and section 3.7.2 "Performing the
Master Test Sequence Appendix" [p. 54]).
The Current Test State is determined byTM G5 automatically like the Overall Test
State. However, by determining the Current Test State the value UNTESTED is not
considered. This enables the test program user to recognize the worst failure state, like
UGB, FAILED, etc., before the test of the device is completed.
