Description
TEST: Unique name used to reference the test in the Sequencer.
The default names start with test1 and increment with each
test. Choosing TEST: means that a test result will be
compared to specifications and branching will occur to the
next test based on the configuration.
The TEST: button toggles to EXEC:. If you toggle TEST: to
EXEC:, the test will execute without a comparison between
a test result and specifications. For example, you might
choose EXEC: when the UserFunction is setting up global
variables. Selecting EXEC: will also disable logging for the
test.
ENABLED Determines when to execute a test. This menu displays four
menu choices:
•ENABLED executes the test under all conditions.
•ENABLED IF: executes the test if the stated expression
evaluates to TRUE. For example, the test might be
enabled if the input pin A holds the value 1 (A == 1).
You can use ENABLED IF: for audit test control. You
might want a particular test to execute every ten runs,
for instance.
•DISABLED is the opposite of ENABLED.
• DISABLED IF: is the opposite of ENABLED IF:.
SPEC
NOMINAL:
Expected value from the test.
RANGE: Specifies the range of test values. This menu displays four
menu choices:
•RANGE signifies the range of test values that signify a
PASS condition. You may also choose from the usual
comparisons: >, >=, <, <=, ==, !=.
•LIMIT uses just one value for a comparison of test data.
•TOLERANCE states the passing range of values by
adding or subtracting the specified tolerance to the
SPEC NOMINAL value.
•%TOLERANCE states the passing range of values by
adding and subtracting a percent tolerance of the SPEC
NOMINAL value to the nominal specification.
