vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
5.2 Test Automation
5.2.1 AutoSettings
vPad-A1 is designed to work in both manual and automated mode. For any given type of simulation (e.g.
ECG Normal Sinus Rhythm) there are a number of parameter values that define the simulated state (e.g.
Heart Rate, Amplitude, Artifact, Mode, and Axis). In manual operation, every parameter can be modified
individually to create a particular test condition as detailed in chapter 4 -
Operation: Simulation Modules
,
and the resulting response from the DUT can be recorded in a single Test Result.
Alternatively, it may be desirable to make modifications to all parameters at once before recording a new
DUT response. This can be accomplished efficiently using module-based AutoSettings, in which all changes
to settings are made and then saved as a named simulation state.
5.2.1.1 AutoSetting Selection
To recall an AutoSetting, touch the “AutoSettings” dropdown menu
that can be found in every simulation or test setup interface.
Selecting an AutoSetting will set all parameters on the screen to the
previously-saved values. There is no limit on the number of
AutoSettings that may be created and stored.
5.2.1.2 Creating and Editing AutoSettings
It is possible to save the current, active parameter setting(s) on a setup
screen by touching the icon next to the AutoSettings selector. The
“AutoSetting” menu will display a summary of the parameters that will be
saved.
If an existing AutoSetting is active when the icon is pressed, the Title
box will be pre-filled with the name of an existing file where the parameters
are currently stored. This Title (filename) can be left unchanged to update
the existing AutoSetting file, or modified to save the parameters in a new
file. A filename that is descriptive should be used so the AutoSetting can be
easily found and recalled from the pop-up list. Touch to
commit the changes.
