Common Utility Methods

The Semiconductor Test Library provides utility methods commonly required for writing test code.

PreciseWait(double timeInSeconds)

Namespace: NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.Common.Utilities

Use this method to implement a software-timed wait to ensure a set amount of settling time before the next operation. It blocks the current thread and waits for the specified amount of time.

Note

This method uses the Stopwatch class to support sub-millisecond settling times required by test code.

NI does not recommend using the Thread.Sleep() method in test code due to its 10+ms resolution.

InvokeInParallel(params Action[] actions)

Namespace: NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.Common.Utilities

Use this method to implement Concurrent programming when separate lines of code should execute in parallel. Refer to the Concurrent Code Execution topic for more details.
