Procedure Has Not Been Run Against the MPT Specimen
Suppose you use the MPT Specimen Editor to create a new MPT specimen
named Sample 1 and link it to procedure “def.000.” Then you open procedure
“abc.000” from the File menu and select MPT specimen Sample 1 on the MPT
control panel. When you do this, a window appears with the following selections:
Note If the Saved state selection is disabled (grey), it means the procedure
linked to the MPT specimen has not been run against the MPT specimen
(as in this scenario), or that the procedure has been run, but its recovery
feature has been disabled.
Currently loaded
procedure
If you choose this selection and then run the test, MPT unlinks the MPT
specimen from procedure “def.000” and links it to procedure “abc.000.” The
MPT specimen now contains information (test data, log entries, and so on) from
procedure “abc.000.”
Procedure assigned to
the MPT specimen
This is the default selection. If you choose it and then run the test, MPT replaces
the procedure currently in memory, “abc.000,” with the procedure you linked to
the MPT specimen with the MPT Specimen Editor, “def.000.”
Restore procedure state
In this case, procedure “def.000” has never been run against the MPT specimen,
so MPT has not created an mps file or an mpp file in the MPT specimen yet.
Therefore, the Saved state selection is disabled, and Reset is the only option
available. Reset causes the procedure to begin at its starting point, with counters
reset to zero.
