MTS MultiPurpose TestWare®
Procedure Has Been Run Against the MPT
Working with MPT Specimens 146
Example Suppose that in this scenario the test was interrupted while it was being run. In
this case the Saved state selection would display In progress instead of Done.
The State state: In progress status shows the procedure was run against the
MPT specimen, but was stopped before the test was complete. When a procedure
is stopped in progress, MPT saves the state of the procedure when it was stopped
in the mps file.
If the test had been inadvertently interrupted and you wished to resume the test at
(or close to) the point of interruption, you would choose this Saved state
selection.
Procedure Has Been Run Against the MPT Specimen, and the MPT Specimen
Relinked to Another Procedure
Suppose you load procedure “def.000” into memory, and run it unmodified on
MPT specimen Sample 1. Next, you use the MPT Specimen Editor to link
procedure “ghi.000” to MPT Specimen Sample 1. Then you load procedure
“abc.000” from the File menu, and select Sample 1 in the MPT control panel.
When you do this, a window appears with the following selections:
Currently loaded
procedure
If you select this and then run the test, MPT unlinks the MPT specimen from both
the procedure it was last run against, “def.000,” and from the procedure you
linked to it with the MPT Specimen Editor, “ghi.000.” MPT links the MPT
specimen to the procedure currently in memory, “abc.000”.
