Import ATML Test Data

ATML (Automatic Test Markup Language) is an IEEE family of XML schemas for exchanging ATE test results, widely used in mil/aero and adopted across telecom, automotive, and consumer electronics. It is a structured format: TofuPilot reads the XML directly, so importing an ATML report needs no column mapping. Each unit-under-test result becomes a Run; a document holding several results imports as several runs.

History

ATML is developed by IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 20 (SCC20), led by the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command with ATE industry members, to replace proprietary, non-interoperable test-data formats. The base standard is IEEE 1671-2010 (mirrored internationally as IEC 61671-2012). Adoption is driven mainly by mil/aero; NI ships a TestStand ATML Toolkit as one commercial implementation.

Supported versions

TofuPilot imports the ATML Test Results schema (TestResults), a core schema in the base IEEE 1671 standard, for versions 2.02, 5.00, and 6.01. Other ATML schemas (test descriptions, instrument capabilities) are not imported.

File structure vs the TofuPilot model

An ATML Test Results document is a typed XML tree: a TestResults root holds a ResultSet, which nests TestGroup and Test elements down to individual outcomes and limits. A TestResultsCollection (5.00/6.01) may wrap several TestResults documents in one file. TofuPilot walks that tree onto the run model.

Prerequisites

• An ATML Test Results report (.xml).
• A Procedure to attach the runs to, created in the dashboard.

Auto-detection

TofuPilot detects ATML by its XML root and the ATML namespace, not by file name. On the import page the row shows Auto-detected as ATML; override the format from the row's detail sidebar if needed.

Import from the dashboard

1. Open the target procedure's import page.
2. Drag your .xml report onto the dropzone. The row shows Auto-detected as ATML and a Ready status.
3. Click Import. The runs appear under the procedure (a TestResultsCollection imports as several runs in one action).

Drop multiple reports at once to import a batch; each is parsed independently.

Import through the API

Upload the file, then import it by upload_id with the ATML importer.

# Import an ATML Test Results report (upload_id comes from the upload finalize step)
curl -X POST https://tofupilot.app/api/v2/import \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOFUPILOT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "items": [
      { "upload_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000", "importer": "ATML" }
    ]
  }'

The endpoint returns a { results: [...] } array with one entry per item; a file that produces multiple runs reports their ids in the item's ids array. Pass several files in the items array (up to 100) to import them in one call; each is parsed independently and reported per-item. See the REST API reference for the upload flow and response schema.
