Data Abstraction
The Semiconductor Test Library provides Pin- and Site-Aware data types to simplify how you configure instrumentation and manage returned measurement results. The high-level extension methods both return and accept these types as input parameters. This abstracts your need to manage confusing array manipulations or translate between instrument- and channel-formatted data to pin- and site-formatted data. Basic math functions can also be operated on these types.
Pin- and Site-Aware Data Types
SiteData<T>
Namespace: NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.DataAbstraction
Defines an object containing values for one or more sites, where T can be passed as any data type.
This type is returned from methods in the Semiconductor Test Library where there may be a unique per-site value. This type can also be passed as an input parameter to some Semiconductor Test Library methods when there is a unique per-site value to operate with.
The SiteData object exposes basic methods for extracting a single site value or subset of values. Additionally, frequently used mathematical operations can be performed on a SiteData object for the most commonly used data types.
Note
Refer to the API Reference for more details regarding the properties and methods exposed by the SiteData.

PinSiteData<T>
Namespace: NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.DataAbstraction
Defines an object containing values for one or more sites that are associated with a particular pin or set of pins, where T can be passed as any data type.
This type is returned from methods in the Semiconductor Test Library, such as measurement methods, where there may be a unique value for each pin, regardless of whether the value is the same across all sites and/or pins. This type can also be passed as an input parameter to some Semiconductor Test Library methods when there is a unique per-site, per-pin value to operate with.
The PinSiteData object exposes basic methods for extracting a single site value or subset of values. Additionally, frequently used mathematical operations can be performed on a PinSiteData object for the most commonly used data types.
