2.4 Test Control
Figure 2-2: 160 Option Test Control Screen.
The Test Control tab in the test control window is used to display and execute a selected test. This tab
contains the following controls and displays.
Control / Display Description
Execution Controls The Start and Abort buttons are used to start and stop the selected test step. The
execution mode that will be used is determined by the Execution Options setting.
The same can be accomplished using the Run menu entries.
When operating in Single Step or Loop mode, make sure the desired test step is
selected in the test sequence table at the bottom of this tab as this will be the one
used by the program.
Execution Options The execution options determine the mode of operation when the Start button is
clicked. Available execution modes and settings are:
Execute all
steps In this mode, all steps in the test sequence will be executed
sequentially until the end of the table is reached.
Single Step Runs only the selected test step. When operating in Single Step
mode, make sure the desired test step is selected in the test
sequence table at the bottom of this tab before clicking on the
Start button.
Loop on Step In this mode, the same step will be executed repeatedly until the
operator clicks on the Abort button.
In this mode, the Complete test progress status bar may run
past its maximum and will no longer update as the total test time
is determined by the operator now and not the program.
