Explanation
TEST:
Unique name used to reference the test in the
Sequencer. The default names start with test1
and increment with each test. Choosing TEST:
means that a test result will be compared to
specifications and branching will occur to the next
test based on the configuration.
The TEST: button toggles to EXEC:. If you toggle
TEST: to EXEC:, the test will execute without a
comparison between a test result and specifications.
For example, you might choose EXEC: when the
UserFunction is setting up global variables.
Selecting EXEC: will also disable logging for the
test.
ENABLED
Determines when to execute a test. This menu
displays four menu choices:
n ENABLED executes the test under all conditions.
n ENABLED IF: executes the test if the stated
expression evaluates to TRUE. For example, the
test might be enabled if the input pin A holds the
value 1 (A == 1). You can use ENABLED IF:
for audit test control. You might want a particular
test to execute every ten runs, for instance.
n DISABLED is the opposite of ENABLED.
n DISABLED IF: is the opposite of ENABLED
IF:.
SPEC
NOMINAL:
Expected value from the test.
