9.5.10 [AUXILIARY] TAB
The Test Definition [Auxiliary] tab is really an extension of the [Data] tab. The options on
the tab determines if Auxiliary data will be logged and which devices will be used.
Edits to the list of Auxiliary devices will impact the list of devices saved in a Test
Definition (see Section 10.3.7).

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Read Auxiliary
Data
(check box)
When checked, the output of the auxiliary data devices listed is logged in the
data file during tests. See
[Setup], [Hardware], [Auxiliary] for details on how to
setup an Auxiliary Data device. The output can be either text or numeric and a
label can be associated with the output. Up to 10 devices can be used at a time,
and any single device can be used multiple times. Use the
[Edit List] button to
modify the list of devices. The information logged is not used in calculations,
however, it can be used in reports and is visible on the
<Run DUT> run screen
and when viewing the Data File (see Section 18.4). When the box is unchecked
(default value) no interaction with auxiliary data is used during tests.
Edit List
(action button)
Press this button to edit the list of Auxiliary Data devices used during the test
(see Section 9.5.10.1). The selected devices display in the list box when the
editor closed.
