TCL (Tool Command Language)

• was more prevalent in the past, particularly for controlling Automated Test Equipment (ATE) used in chip manufacturing.
• It’s still used in some legacy systems or specific ATE environments.
• Python for audio testing scripting with libraries like NumPy, SciPy, and Librosa

Important Considerations:

• ATE Documentation is Essential: You absolutely must have the documentation for your ATE system to understand the available TCL commands and their syntax.
• Error Checking: Implement robust error checking in your scripts to handle potential communication errors or test failures.
• Modular Design: Break your scripts into smaller, reusable procedures to improve readability and maintainability.

TCL scripting in audio testing is used for

• automating ATE equipment,
• controlling test flow, and
• collecting data.
