Operator Information Process
About the Operator Information Process
The Operator Information process requires the operator to type and enter
information at a specific time during the test. The information can be archived
along with other data during the test.
Some examples of the types of things a test designer can do with the Operator
Information process include:
• Control the test flow by prompting the operator for information at any time
during the test.
• For tests that include varibles, prompt the operator during the test to change
variable values and automatically resume the test.
• Provide information about the physical specimen with the data file.
• Prompt the operator for specific information, such as:
– Operator ID
– Batch number
– Workstation number
– Part number
– Operator comments
When an Operator Information process is triggered, it displays a window that
requires the operator to enter the type of information specified by the test
designer. As the test designer, you can choose whether the information is non-
editable, or whether specific information, comments, or values must be typed
when the window appears.
When the operator types the required information in the window and clicks OK,
the information is output to a test data file.
