Process execution
When the process is triggered, the calculation parameter and variable values you
set within the process override their associated values defined in the Station
Manager application.
After the process runs:
•
Calculation parameter values in the Station Manager application will remain
at the current value and are saved with the parameter set unless you choose
not to save changes when you exit Station Manager.
•
Calculation variable values in the Station Manager application will remain
at the current value, but are not saved with the parameter set when you exit
Station Manager.
Note
The calculation parameter access level set in the Station Manager
application does not apply to the Set Controller Value process.
Set Controller Value Process Example
A typical application for this process is where a calculation defined in the Station
Manager application calculates strain. In this application, calculation parameters
used in the strain calculation may change for different specimens.
The MPT procedure can use the Set Controller Values process to push new
calculation parameter values down into the Station Manager calculation.
Calculation parameter values can be manually entered or, if a variable is
assigned, changed at various points in the procedure.
