Creating a Basic TestWare Test
About Defining the Test Command
The Basic TestWare application can generate both cyclic and monotonic commands.
Cyclic commands include wave shapes such as sine, square, and ramp. Monotonic commands start at a
level and end at a different level. Basically, a monotonic command is a ramp command from one level to
another.
How to Define a Cyclic Command
1.
On the Basic TestWare toolbar, click to open the Test Setup window.
2. In the Test Setup window, click the Command tab.
3. In the Type list, click Cyclic.
4. In the Channel list, click the desired channel.
5. In the Control Mode list, click the desired control mode.
6. Set the remaining command attributes.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for all other channels.
After the initial command definition is set you can change the setpoint, amplitude, and frequency controls
on the main Basic TestWare panel while the test is running.
The maximum frequency for a cyclic command is 20% of the system rate.
How to Define a Monotonic Command
1.
On the Basic TestWare toolbar, click to open the Test Setup window.
2. In the Test Setup window, click the Command tab.
3. In the Type list, click Monotonic.
4. Select the End Level Type.
