Activity properties
Most activities require you to specify properties to fully define how the activity should perform. When you
add an activity that has parameters you are required to specify, the activity in the procedure includes an
error icon. The Properties tab identifies the parameters, and the Error list describes the problem. You
must correct all errors in the test before you can initialize and run the test.
Universal Activity Properties
All test activities have a name that defaults to the activity name in the Procedure tab. You can enter a
name to display for an activity in the Display Name box. All activities provide an optional Description box
to document the procedure design. All activities have the Enabled check box selected by default. You can
clear the Enabled check box to disable an activity. You can also set the visibility of the activity in the
Progress Table.

The Custom Waveform activity commands a control channel using a series of ramp and hold segments
that create a custom trapezoid waveform. The entire waveform is played out in one control mode for one
channel. You can control multiple control channels, such as an axial channel in force control and a
temperature control channel.
