A WATS Client converter plugin for importing test data from TAKAYA Flying Probe test system to WATS.
You can download the latest released version of the converter here. See the Custom Converter section in the WATS Client Installation Guide for your version of the WATS Client for how to install a converter.
This is an example converter for TAKAYA Flying Probe that only supports output in the same format as the example files. Different configurations of the test software will require an accordingly different converter.
This converter uses the following parameters:
| Parameter | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| partNumber | ABC123 | If log is missing a part number, use this one. |
| partRevision | 1.0 | If log is missing a revision, use this one. |
| sequenceName | MainSequence | If log is missing sequence name, use this one. |
| sequenceVersion | 1.0.0 | If log is missing sequence version, use this one. |
| operationTypeCode | 10 | If log is missing operation code (process code), use this one. |
| operator | sysoper | If log is missing operator, use this one. |
| stationName | {Client station name} | If log is missing station name, use this one. |
| testModeType | Active | Sets the mode to Active (computes status) or Import. |
| cultureCode | en-US | Culture used for parsing numbers. |
| fileEncoding | 1252 | File encoding of the file to import. |
| validationMode | ThrowExceptions | ThrowExceptions or AutoTruncate. |
| UnitCalcPreference | Measures | Measures or Limits |
The project uses the MSTest framework for testing the converter.
It is setup with two tests; one for setting up the API by registering the client to your WATS, and one for running the converter.
The values are hardcoded in the test, so you will need to change the values to reflect your setup.
- In SetupClient, fill in your information in the the call to RegisterClient.
- In TestConverter, fill in the path to the file you want to test the converter with. There are example files in the Examples folder.
- Run SetupClient once, then you can run TestConverter as many times as you want.

Symptom:
- Converter did not start after being configured.
Possible cause:
- WATS Client Service does not have folder permission to the input path.
- WATS Client Service was not restarted after configuration.
Possible solution:
- Give NETWORK SERVICE write permission to the input path folder
- Make a change in a converter configuration and undo the change, click APPLY. When asked to restart the service, click Yes.
Symptom:
- The converter class drop down list in the Client configurator is empty after adding a converter DLL.
Possible cause:
- The DLL file is blocked. Windows blocks files that it thinks are untrusted, which stops them from being executed.
Possible solution:
- Open properties on the file and unblock it.
