Procedure run
When the test is loaded, you use the control panel to perform primary hardware and test control operations.
When you click Run, the test procedure begins. If the procedure is stopped before completion, you can
resume the test from where it stopped.
To troubleshoot procedures, you can include the Test Procedure in the test-run display to monitor test
progress.
An operator can follow the progress of a test as the test-run display indicates the current test activity. A
green triangle indicates the current activities. A blue check mark indicates completed activities.
