Customizing Testing
• Test? (yes/no) specifies whether you want to test the UUT at this channel. If set to
“No” then the UUT will not be tested at that channel, but you may retain the channel
information in the table for later use. If set to “Yes” then the channel will be used as
defined by settings of Prime? and All Chans? fields.
• Prime? (yes/no) specifies which channels are “prime”. Select “Yes” if you want to
test the UUT at this channel on all the tests in the procedure. Select No if you want to
test the UUT at this channel on just a subset of tests, which are designated by selecting
Yes in the All Chans field of the Order of Tests screen. See All Chans?
in "Changing the Order of Tests" on page 34 for more information.
For information on saving the channel information table, see "Saving a Test
Procedure" on page 50
.
The
All Chans field in the Order of Tests screen interacts closely with the
Prime? field on the Channel Information screen. When the software runs, it
begins by retrieving the first channel entered into the
Channel Information
screen. It then checks the response in the
Test? field to determine if the UUT
should be tested at that channel at this time. If there is a
No response in the Test?
field, the software will go to the next channel in the table. If there is a
Yes
response in the
Test? field, the software will check if the channel is Prime.
A
Yes response in the Prime? field indicates to test the UUT at that channel on
the entire sequence of tests in the procedure. A
No response in the Prime? field
indicates to test the UUT at that channel on a subset of tests in the procedure. The
subset of tests is determined by a
Yes response in the All Chans? field.
Therefore, tests with a
No response in the All Chans? field will be run on prime
channels only.
