Action Debug
Messages
Agilent TestExec SL allows action routines to send strings to the same
debug window that the system uses for the test trace output. Use the
following API:
• UtaTrace (MessageString, MessageID)
-- MessageString is a string that will be sent to the trace window.
-- MessageID is an optional string that allows the messages to be
group (as identified by MessageID). Note: currently, this parameter
does not provide any functionality.
Watch Window Watch windows provide the ability to select ‘objects’ to dynamically
monitor as a testplan executes. Select an item to watch from a list, the item
is added to the watch window list and is updated each time the testplan
pauses. Items can be added or deleted at any time (as long as the testplan is
not running).
The watch window can monitor 4 types of objects:
• Instruments
• Switching Node
• All Switching Nodes
• Symbols
The following shows some typical example of the window.

Selections
Watch Window Menu Selections shows how to select one of the four Watch
Window objects. The object to be selected, as shown in the figure, is the
‘instrument’ object. (The selection of the other objects is the same.)
