3070 ICT File Converters

The Keysight Medalist i3070 (originally HP 3070, later Agilent 3070) has been rebranded across multiple generations. Different controller software versions produce structurally different output files. Three file-format converters are available:

Agilent3070 — Legacy flat-file format

The oldest 3070 output format. Lines are pipe-delimited records: the first line is a header with positional fields (SerialNumber|PartNumber|Revision|...|DateTime|...), followed by one line per test category (Pins|, Shorts|, Analog Unpowered|, Digital|, etc.).

Use this converter when: the first line of the file looks like SN|PN|Rev|... (pipe-separated fields).

MedalistI3070 — i3070 Log Record Format

Handles the structured Log Record Format output from i3070 Systems Software. Records use {@TAG|...} token syntax. Supports analog limit tests ({@LIM2}, {@LIM3}), pass/fail results, and block/sequence structure.

Use this converter when: the file starts with {@BATCH|...} lines and you only have analog limit and pass/fail test steps.

MedalistI3070Extended — i3070 Log Record Format, extended

The more comprehensive Log Record Format implementation. Handles all the same records as MedalistI3070, plus:

  • {@TS|...} — topology scan (shorts, opens, phantoms)
  • {@D-T|...} — digital test (pin count)
  • {@TJET|...} — JTAG boundary scan
  • {@BS-CON|...} — boundary scan connectivity
  • {@PF|...} — power fail test

Also includes smart SI unit prefix mapping (pico/nano/micro/milli/kilo/mega) via an internal UnitMapper.

Use this converter when: the file starts with {@BATCH|...} lines and you have digital, boundary scan, or topology scan test steps.

OpenTAP Integration — Result Listener Example

> Note: This is not a ready-made DLL you install and forget. It is an example template that demonstrates the approach for building a custom OpenTAP Result Listener that sends test data to WATS in real-time. Use it as a starting point for your own integration.

OpenTAP is an open-source test sequencer by Keysight Technologies. Instead of converting log files after the fact, a Result Listener hooks into the running test plan and receives results as each step executes — no files needed.

The example (WatsResultListener.cs) shows how to:

  • Implement the ResultListener base class from the OpenTAP SDK
  • Map the test plan run lifecycle to a WATS UUTReport
  • Distinguish between flow control steps (mapped to SequenceCall) and measurement steps (mapped to numeric limit, string value, pass/fail, or chart steps)
  • Extract serial number and part number from published result tables and populate UUT fields
  • Submit the completed UUTReport to WATS at the end of each test plan run

Configuration is driven by JSON settings stored in the OpenTAP Results.xml settings file — allowing step-name-to-WATS-step-type mapping without recompiling.

Read the in-depth OpenTAP integration article for a full walkthrough of the code, mapping strategies, JSON config examples, and ideas for extending the integration.

Choosing the right converter

Which 3070 file converter do I need?

Open the log file in a text editor and check the first line:

First line looks like... Use
`SerialNumber\ PartNumber\ ...` (pipe-separated fields) Agilent3070
`{@BATCH\ ...}` — basic analog + pass/fail only MedalistI3070
`{@BATCH\ ...}` — includes digital/boundary scan/topology MedalistI3070Extended

When in doubt, try MedalistI3070Extended first — it is the more complete implementation.
