11.5 [INITIALIZE TEST] TAB
The [Tools] , [Options] , [Initialize Test] tab is used to set user preferences affecting the initialization
portion of test execution (see Section
7.2.1.5
). The test initialization steps can be turned ON or OFF to
avoid repeating undesired or unnecessary steps each time a test is run. The panel lists the different
steps of test initialization in order of execution. Clicking on the check box corresponding to a step turns it
ON or OFF (ON if box checked, OFF is box is blank).
The purpose of the [Initialize Test] tab fields and settings as well as instructions on how to use them are
provided in Table 45. When selections are complete, click <OK> to save changes.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Select/verify starting
molbloc Channel
(check box)
When checked a molbloc selection form appears when the flow reference is a
molbox1 with two valid molblocs (see Section 7.2.1.2). If unchecked, the test
will run using the current molbloc channel. This selection is ignored when the
reference does not contain two valid molblocs.
Select DUT
(check box)
When checked the DUT Selector is offered (see Section 7.2.1.3). If unchecked,
the select DUT step is skipped and the last DUT that has been accessed
(edited, viewed, created or run) is automatically used as the selected DUT.
Select Test
(check box)
If checked, the Test Selector is offered (see Section 7.2.1.4). If unchecked,
the test specified in the DUT Definition
[Test] Tab is automatically selected
(see Section 8.5.6). If COMPASS cannot access the Test Definition, then the
Test Selector appears anyway.
Re-select DUT
interface settings
(check box)
If checked, the <Setup DUT/ID Interface> pop-up appears to allow changing
of DUT communications parameters if the DUT uses an RS-232 or IEEE-488
interface (see Section 7.2.1.5).
Unchecking this selection only has an affect if the DUT Definition is a DUT
Profile (i.e., not an Individual DUT type) (see Section 8.5.2). DUT Profiles
require
<Setup DUT/ID Interface> for identification of the DUT being run.
Select/enter user
name
(check box)
If checked, the user is prompted to enter his/her name (or select it from the
drop down user name list) (see Section 7.2.1.6). This name appears under
user in the test Data File and in reports. If unchecked, the most recently
used name is automatically selected as the user for the current test.
Unchecking this prompt is useful for single user systems and can even be
done after the first run of the day for a specific operator.
