tab.

Create a Signal Meter for Time

running even when a test is held.

tab.

Type selection defaults to Timed, and the Unit to (sec).
Signal Scope
About Signal Scopes
The Signal Scope allows you to configure offline the scope properties during test runs. The signals that
are available in the scope properties come from the mapping in the test Resources. You can define the
scope configuration settings offline when the application is disconnected from the station. However, the
application must be connected to the controller when the test is run to show the data for the signals.
When a scope is used in a test-run display for a test:
• The scope shows signals for the test when the test is run.
• The scope updates only while the test is running and shows the last available signal status when the
test is stopped.
• The scope configuration settings are saved with the test.
