MPT Counters
Run time counter
The Run Time counter displays the elapsed time of the current test since the last
time it was reset.
Channel counters
Channel Counters display a cumulative count of segments or cycles that have
been applied to a specific channel since the start of the test.
Sequence counters
Sequence Counters display the progress of individual processes within the test.
They can be especially useful for procedures that contain nested groups, because
you can configure them to show test progress within the nested structure of the
procedure.
Input signals
The Station Signals panel displays all of the input signals of the station with their
current values.
Meters display
The Meters window can display up to 16 meters per station simultaneously. The
following data can be displayed for any defined input signal:
•
Timed data
•
Peak/valley data
This sample procedure includes a group process
labeled “Cooling Cycles,” which contains four
nested processes (with indented label names,
“Trigger at 75C,” and so forth.)
Name displays the assigned process label
Current displays the current value of the counter
Target displays the assigned number of times
the process should execute (or repeat), or the
number of cycles to be executed.
