ABSTRACT:
Computer-implemented system and method for presenting routing information in a measurement system. A meta-routing tool receives user input specifying a device, then retrieves a topography description for the device indicating connectivity between a plurality of components in the device, e.g., from memory or from a server coupled to the computer via a network. The tool then determines routability information for the device based on the topography description, e.g., by walking the topography, and displays the routability information, which is then useable to determine routing for the measurement system. The routability information includes possible routes through the device, and may also indicate potential side effects for one or more of the routes, e.g., sub-systems used by the routes. The tool may receive user input indicating one of the possible routes, and display a component-wise path used by the indicated route, as well as any sub-systems used by the indicated route.
