Known issues to be resolved in the next release include:

HART Technology WG has reviewed and concurred that Command 8 must align with precedent in Command 9.

Dynamic Variables not supported by the device need to return 0 "Not Yet Classified" for Command 8.

UAL012 fails when SV or TV (correctly) return zero in the Command 8 response when SV or TV are not supported by the device. Command 8 response will require manual verification.

See CR#3775 and #3275.

  • Detailed lists of updated test automation and improved scripts for Slave Token-Passing Data-Link Layer, Universal Command, and Common Practice Command tests are listed below.


Slave Token-Passing Data Link Layer Tests
Improvements to the Token-Passing Data Link Layer tools include the resolution of the following HCFTracker change requests were resolved: #3268, #3760, #4164, #4171, #4268, #4269, #4283, #4295, #4296, #4359, #4360, #4586, #4594, #4651, #4687, #4741, #4766, #4805, #4806, #4816, #4867, #4905, #4981, #5002, #5005, #5014, #5023, #5053, #5125, #5133. Resolution of these change requests resulted in improvements to the following tests: DLL002, DLL010, DLL016, DLL019, DLL022, DLL024B, DLL024C, DLL026, DLL027, DLL029, DLL035, DLL037D, DLL039A, DLL039B, DLL040, DLL043A, DLL043B, and DLL045. Improvements were also made to testdll and testdlludp.

In addition, improvements to HSniffer were made to optimize performance and enhance integration with the HART Test System.

Universal Command Tests
Improvements to the Universal Command Tests include the resolution of the following HCFTracker change requests: #4636, #4681, and #4689. Resolution of these change requests resulted in improvements to the following tests: UAL000 and UAL009. Improvements were also made to testual and testualudp.

Common Practice Command Tests
Improvements to the Common Practice Command Tests include the resolution of the following HCFTracker change requests : #3168, #4248, #4329, #4551, #4559, #4574, #4575, #4591, #4592, #4656, #4666, #4667, #4684, #4701, #4719, #4738, #4743, #4794, #4796, #4801, #4917, #4962, #5027, #5079, #5096, #5104, #5105, #5118, and #5167.

Improvements were also made to testcal and testcaludp.



Known issues to be resolved in the next release include:


#4714- DLL033C not properly testing Loop Current, Command 6
  • Send Command 6 with 1 data byte to change Polling Address to 0 --> Loop Current Mode must be set to 0x01. This is currently manually tested.


#4979, #5357, #5358, #5407- Need to parse all Command 0 fields
  • Private Label code is not verified via automation. Must not be 0x0000. Must match Manufacturer ID unless it is private labeled product. This is currently manually tested.
  • Device Profile code is not verified via automation. Must not be 0x00. Must use Device Profile Code from Common Tables. This is currently manually tested.

#5298 - UAL038A should poll for device like UAL010

#5304- CAL033, CAL052 - CAL056 Macro findNextDeviceVariable
  •  findNextDeviceVariable must update to the Slave Common Practice Command Test Specification (HCF_TEST-004 r4.1).


#5305- DLL035 does not correctly handle RC == 8
  • Command 59 request with value 21 preambles or greater must receive a device response with Response Code of error "Passed Parameter Too Large" (RC == 3) or warning "Set To Nearest Possible Value" (RC == 8). If the DUT responds with the warning it can be mistakenly failed with "Faildll035354DLL035, Insufficient STX's detected. Failure Point==354".


#5308- DLL044A Failure Point == 951 BACK Count
  • Increase tolerance to 5% (i.e. ABS(cmd9 - cmd3) < 5 = PASS)


#5316- DLL035: Failure Point == 888 fails a DUT with the correct Byte Count
  • Command 59 request with value 1 in the data field must receive a device response with Response Code of error"Passed Parameter Too Small" (RC == 4) or warning"Set To Nearest Possible Value" (RC == 8). If the device returns RC == 8 then the preamble count must be 5. However, the automation fails a device that responds with 5 preambles.


#5317- DLL026: Failure Point == 408 Fails DUT when it returns Command 2, RC == 8
  • Add RC == 8 (Update Failure) to the list of accepted response codes that will not trigger Failure Point == 408.


#5320 - DLL033C: Add verification the correct "Loop Current Mode" is set based on the POLL_ADDRESS that was written.


#5391- DLL033C: Verify command 7 matches command 6 response
  • The test must send command 7 to verify the Loop Current Mode matches between command 6, command 7, and the device status. These three items must remain consistent. This is currently manually tested.


#5438- CAL071B: Does not properly exit for Response Code "Command Not Implemented" RC == 64
  • Test must abort if it encounters Failure Point 5125 or 5126 



Release 3.0 - August 2014

Release 2.3 - March 2014

Last minor version update before Release 3.0

Release 2.1 - June 2012

Hardware processor change (Atom)        

Release 1.5 - March 2010

Summary of changes over previously released version (bug #s are listed
where applicable):

Data Link Layer
* DLL019
- (#2966) This test was terminating early, before sufficient BACK
messages were acquired and incorrectly causing the device to fail.
* DLL032
- (#3030) This test was checking the entire byte value, rather than
the bit field. This could incorrectly fail a wireless device.
* DLL033a
- (#2997) This test had an erroneous failpoint 350.
- (#3146) A queue initialization error in the QAS script inhibited
the command 6's from issuing properly.
* DLL033c
- (#3038, 3090) The Loop Current Fixed bit from the Device Status
byte was not detected correctly in the post processing.
- (#2999,2995) The draft spec and the test automation had deficiencies
related to logic for Loop Current Enabled handling, which have been
thoroughly reviewed and fixed.
* DLL038
- (#3141) The post processing for this test now checks the revision
number correctly.
* DLL039a
- (#3149) This test was updated to only emit 20,000 messages for a
wireless device being tested over a maintenance port.
* DLL040
- (#2889) The post processing on this multi-drop test now correctly
handles cold start bit.

Application Layer (v1.5)

* All Tests
- Token-Passing over FSK connections is enhanced.
- New -v command line option prints test name and version.
* UAL000
- (#2812) The processing of command 31 is corrected.
* UAL048
- (#3126) The test is divided into two tests, UAL048a and b.
- (#3127) Command 48 data handling corrected.
* CAL000
- (#3091) Command 105 byte counts corrected
- (#3030, #3031) Command 75 and 77 for wireless adapters via FSK
* CAL044
- (#3157) PV Units code handling for codes 250 to 255
* CAL074d
- (#2873) Command 94 not required

HTEST (v1.4)
* (#3003) Modified the library function script_sleep() to enable it to
sleep for longer intervals.

HARTMENU (v1.4)
* (#3239) Modified to reflect updated UAL tests list.

Release 1.4 - October 2009

Summary of changes over previously released version (bug #s are listed
where applicable):

Data Link Layer
* All Tests
- (#2589) DLL tests now support command 109 returning "Invalid Selection"
for wireless devices bursting only on the TDMA channel.
* DLL001e, DLL033a
- (#2726) These tests have been modified so that the DUT can use poll
addresses other than 0. Previously, these tests would fail the DUT
unnecessarily.
* DLL003
- This test requires devices to correctly frame messages that use
expansion bytes. The failures have been changed to warnings.
* DLL018, DLL024a, DLL026
- (#2679) HART 7 devices may return response code 14 indicating warning
that dynamic variables were used in place of device variables. The
post processing has been corrected so that code 14 is allowed for
HART 7 devices.
* DLL024c
- (#2902) The error string for failure point 435 is now printing correctly.
* DLL038
- (#2905) the HART spec allows a DUT to return a buffer overflow
indication if a message it receives is too long for its buffers.
This test uses command 22 to write a long tag to the DUT and one of
the variations sends a long tag plus one data byte. This can overflow
the buffers on some devices. The Test spec and automation have been
corrected to allow "Buffer Overflow" in this situation.
- (#2802) The test handles broadcast addressing correctly.
* DLL040
- (#2590) The QAS script was updated to support 16-bit manufacturer id
and expanded device types. The post processing is now correctly
counting the number of devices on the bus. A defect remains that
may keep a HART 7 device from passing the test.
* DLL042
- (#2889) The post processing now correctly handles response codes
"Success" and "Invalid Expanded Command Number" near failure point 243.

Application Layer (v1.4)
* All Tests
- The operation of the Token-Passing has been enhanced. It is possible
to stop a running test with a Ctrl-C and to re-size a terminal window
without killing the program inadvertantly.
* UAL000
- (#2811, 2812) The processing of command 31 is added to the test.
* UAL001
- (#2852) The test specification and automation program are corrected
for the loop current on wireless devices.
* UAL007
- (#2803) This test now examines the analog channel input flags.
* UAL011a
- (#2912, 2913) Devices that return 0x00 for Max Device Variable
supported (byte 13 of command 0 response) must respond to device
variables 0, 1, 2, 3. (PV, SV, TV, QV). The test now allows
"Dynamic variables Returned for Device Variables" in this case.
- (#2990) An "Invalid Selection" response is also accepted.
* UAL011b
- (#2904) Floating point comparisons for the PV have been enhanced to
use the upper and lower range limits as a context for the floating
point comparison.
* UAL013
- (#2837) The test now allows a buffer overflow status when command 22
is issued with an extra data byte.
* UAL038b
- (#2804) This test now aborts for hart 5 and 6 devices. Earlier, the
test was being incorrectly applied to such devices.
* CAL000
- (#2833) The test vectors for this automation were upgraded for
commands above command 90 for HART 5,6 and 7.
* CAL033
- (#2957) This test now correctly counts device variables in some
situations that it did not, previously. Floating point comparisons
for the PV have been enhanced to use the upper and lower range limits
as a context for the floating point comparison.
* CAL034
- (#2935) The checking for recommended commands at the beginning of
the automation has been corrected.
* CAL035
- (#2702) This test now allows "Invalid Units" response code to be
returned from command 35.
* CAL036
- Floating point comparisons for the PV have been enhanced to use the
upper and lower range limits as a context for the floating point
comparison.
* CAL071b
- (#2958) The test now processes a command 12 response correctly.
* CAL074a,b,c,d
- (#2871) This test now aborts for adapter being tested on a TP network.
* CAL074d
- (#2873) The test now aborts if command 94 is not implemented, as
command 94 is recommended but not required for wireless adapter.

HTEST (v1.3)
* Added the following new library functions to enable easier retrieval
of information from responses received from a device:
- get_byte_count()
- get_resp_code()
- get_response()

* (#2892) Added signal handler to capture linux signal received when a
terminal window is resized.

HARTMENU (v1.3)
* (#2909) Modified to reflect available test list correctly.
