About mapping data to variables

In all MTS templates created for TW, the Save data to variables? control is enabled by default. Mapping
data to arrays significantly extends the functionality of TW. Array variables provide the data in the charts
and tables in the Review tab, support the use of several types of test-run displays (for example, the
Array-Variable Chart, the Variable Data Table, and the Variable Meter), and support the use of the Reporter
Add-In for Microsoft Excel.

Limit Detection tab

Limit detection is not used in this tab in the example test. For more information about limit detection, see

Set Station Detector Limits

(p. 110).

Break Detection tab

The Break Detection tab detects when the specimen breaks while the Parallel Path activity is active.

The break detector monitors the peak load applied to the specimen. When the current value exceeds the
value defined by the Break Threshold variable, the detector is armed.
