8. Follow the method used to create End Level 1 and create a variable for End Level 2 with a default value
of -2 mm.
Note:
If you were to run the test now, it would look identical to the previous run because you assigned
default values to the variables that are identical to the originally assigned values.
5.2.10.0 Adding an Input Variables Activity
In this task, you add an Input Variables activity to the procedure and define its properties. During the test,
the Input Variables activity opens a window that allows the operator to change the end levels of the Cycle
activity. The end levels are variable values an operator can change before running the test.
1. Click the Procedure tab and scroll to the Operator Entry category in the Toolbox panel.
2. Drag the Input Variables activity to the Procedure workspace and place it before the topmost Ramp
activity.
