ART Tester behavior with own Power Outlet DLL

[KlaGir]

Hello.
We have written our own Power Outlet DLL for our test environment. Base was the template which is part of each ART Tester version.
Switching dut on/off/toggle works fine. But the ART Tester does not wait (e.g. the configured DutBootUpTime / DcpResetToFactoryTestSetupTime / ...) after switching and continues test operation without waiting. The communication between ART Tester and Power Outlet shows no error.

This behavior seems to be independent from the ART Tester version. Currently we used version 2.44.1.2. Older/newer versions showed the same behavior.

PC configuration: Windows 10 pro 22H2, .NET framework 4.8

Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong here?

Thanks.

Switching the power outlet and the wait times are independent and not related.

But please be aware, that with the ETS-HW available, there have been a lot of improvements for power handling in the ART. Some wait times (like DutBootUpTime) moved to the Power outlet control, as the ART does regular checks if the DUT is available and does not wait the full time if possible.

How is the behavior with the specified ANEL power outlet?

Thanks for the reply.

The specified ANEL power outlet is working correctly!
