MTS Multipurpose Elite - Manual (Page 326)

Description Item
Specify how many cycles to store when the test starts or restarts. Starting Cycles
Note:
The cycles specified here are in addition to those specified by the “Select
Cycles” filter.
For example, you specify 10 and the test is 50 cycles long. An operator stops
and restarts the test at 30 cycles. The application saves data from cycles 1 to
10 and 31 to 40.
Specify the number of cycles to store before the test stops, whether at the end
or during the test. A stoppage can be initiated by an operator, an event action,
or a system interlock. Final Cycles
For example, you specify 10 and the test is 50 cycles long. If an operator stops
and restarts the test at 30 cycles, the application saves data for cycles 21 to 30
and 41 to 50.
Specify an array variable to store all the cycle count numbers of cycles where
data is stored. Index Variable
You must first create an index variable that is an Array type and with a dimension
of Count. This variable stores the current cycle count number when the
application stores data.
The Select Cycles, Starting Cycles, and Final Cycles properties determine
the cycles when the application stores data.
This array stores cycle numbers, not the data. This array can be used to
determine which data is available to analyze.
