Toolbox Panel
The Designer tab provides a workspace to create
test-run displays.
The Preview tab shows an example test-run display
and how it may appear during a test run.
The Test-Run Display Toolbox panel (see figure on
right) contains tools that you drag onto the Designer
tab and position or dock as desired. To access the
properties for a tool, click the tool in the Designer
tab to display the relevant property information in
the Properties panel.
The test-run display properties are stored within the
test definition, not with the individual test runs. Any
changes you make to a test-run display are applied
to all subsequent test runs, as well as to any stopped
or incomplete test runs. Unlike changes to a test-run
display, changes to the test procedure and variables
are not applied to any stopped or otherwise
incomplete test runs.
Cycle data variables
Cycle data variables are those variables that are correctly mapped to data calculations for signals that are
selected for data acquisition.
Presentation of cycle data variables in a test-run display requires:
• Selecting signals in the DAQ activity.
• Mapping variables to cycle data calculations for those signals in the DAQ activity.
• Selecting the variables for presentation during test runtime.
Non-cycle data variables
Non-cycle data variables are specimen, system, and input variables.
