Application Test Definition
Test Specification
Dimension... For Vector parameters.
Opens the Define dimensions dialog box for defining the
dimensi
on of vector data.
Use Dim1Min and Dim1Max to specify the primary dimension
of vector data. This d
irection can be for the primary sweep data.
Use Dim2Min and Dim2Max to specify the secondary
dimension
of vector data. This direction can be for the
secondary sweep data.
The following conditions must be satisfied.
•1 ≤ Dim1Min ≤ Dim1Max (ex. Dim1Min=1,
Dim1Max=11)
•1 ≤ Di
m2Min ≤ Dim2Max (ex. Dim2Min=1,
Dim2Max=3)
Assig
n Output
Channels... Fo
r ALWaveform parameters.
This button opens the Assign ALWaveform Output Channels
dialog box wh
ich specifies the variables if they are used to
identify the SPGU channels. The variables must be the Module
type test parameter.
For example, when the parameters are defined as shown below,
PG1 should
be set to the Assign ALWaveform Output Channels
dialog box for the WAVE1 parameter.
PG1: Module parameter to identify the SPGU channel
WAVE1: ALWaveform parameter for the PG1 setup data
Use “Define ALWG Waveform Window (page 5-64)” to create
the SPGU ALWG setup data. For the above example, the PG1 is
the SPGU channel ident
ifier when creating the WAVE1 data.
