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.

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.
