Adding Using Directives
Depending on your Visual Studio IDE configuration, the required using directives for accessing the Semiconductor Test Library may or may not automatically populate when you write code. Therefore, you should always add the appropriate namespaces as the using directives at the beginning of your code. This is required for the code to compile and for certain IDE features to work properly, such as Visual Studio's IntelliSense.
Example 1: When working with the NI-DCPower instruments, make sure you are using the following using directives in your code:
using NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.InstrumentAbstraction;
using NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.InstrumentAbstraction.DCPower;
Example 2: When working with the PinSiteData or SiteData objects, make sure you are using the following using directives in your code:
using NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.DataAbstraction;
Tip
Consider a static using directive when working methods in the Utilities class, such as PreciseWait. This will allow you to write PreciseWait() in your code, instead of Utilities.PreciseWait().
using static NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.Common.Utilities;
