About Cycle Counters
Important:
The Cycle Counter test-run display shows the number of completed command cycles associated
with a data acquisition cycle. The Cycle Counter test-run display is independent of and not related
to the Reset Cycle (Segment) test activity, which counts the cycles (segments) of the FlextTest
controller.
Cycle Counter
The Cycle Counter shows the number of completed command cycles and displays the value of the
predefined count variable in the System category, referred to as the Current Cycle Index. The predefined
variable is used by the Cycle + DAQ and Custom Waveform + DAQ test activities, which divide acquired
data into cycles.
Cycle Counter Window
A Data Acquisition (DAQ) activity must added to the test procedure, or the cycle count remains at zero
and a warning is logged in the Error list.
