Types of Counters
Performing Common Tasks 50
Run time counter The Run Time counter displays the elapsed time of the current test since the last
time it was reset.
Channel counters Channel Counters display a cumulative count of segments or cycles that have
been applied to a specific channel since the start of the test.
Sequence counters Sequence Counters display the progress of individual processes within the test.
They can be especially useful for procedures that contain nested groups, because
you can configure them to show test progress within the nested structure of the
procedure.
Profile counters
Note Applies only to Profile and Profile with ALC processes.
Profile Counters display counters that increment according to special markers
that profile designers put in profiles.
Status counters
Note Applies only to Time History Output, Time History Input, and Road
Surface processes.
This sample procedure includes a group process labeled “Cooling
Cycles,” which contains four nested processes (with indented
label names, “Trigger at 75C,” and so forth).
Name displays the assigned process label.
Current displays the current value of the counter.
Target displays the assigned number of times the process should
run (or repeat).
