This document provides an overview and instructions for creating and using .NET actions, hardware handlers, and operator user interfaces in TestExec SL. Key points include: - .NET actions allow writing test routines in C# or VB.NET and compiling them into DLLs containing executable action routines. Instructions are provided on creating .NET action libraries and projects. - Hardware handlers can also be written in .NET style using C# or VB.NET. The document outlines the predefined interfaces and members that must be implemented. - The operator UI can be developed as a .NET application using the TestExec SL ActiveX control. Examples of typical and multiple device UIs are included. Throughout the document, code
