Table 26. Test Definition Editor, [Points] Tab Fields
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Test Point Type
(drop down list)
Determines how the flow point values in the <Points> table will be interpreted when
the test is run. Use the drop down list to select the type. The choices are:
<%DUTFS> , <Flow Units> , <Output Units> or <Set Units> . If the indication is
<%DUTFS> , when the test is run, the flow points will be calculated from the DUT
output span defined in DUT Definition [Range] tab (see Section 9.5.4). Specifying
points in <%DUTFS> is useful in setting up a common test procedure that runs the
same point distribution for DUTs with different ranges. All other unit types are
run directly as values in the unit specified in the corresponding DUT Definition tab.
The current point type selection is indicated at the top of the
<Points> table
(see Section 9.5.2).
Starting Point
(numeric entry
field)
Defines the first point of an Auto Fill test point sequence. Entering a value in this
field has no affect until
<Auto Fill> is pressed.
Ending Point
(numeric entry
field)
Defines the last point of an Auto Fill test point sequence. Entering a value in this field
has no affect until
<Auto Fill> is pressed.
Step Value
(numeric entry
field)
Defines the increment used by Auto Fill to determine test points between the starting
point and ending point. Entering a value in this field has no affect until
<Auto Fill>
is pressed.
Ascending/
Descending
Points
(drop down list
selection)
Selects whether the Auto Fill point sequence will run from starting point to ending
point only or from starting point to ending point and back to starting point. If
<Yes> is
selected, the test point sequence is from starting point to ending point and back to
starting point. The ending point is repeated to provide proper point weighting when
calculating best fits from the test data. If this repeated point is not desired, right click
the point after the points have been filled in. Making a selection has no affect until
<Auto Fill> is pressed.
Auto Fill
(action button)
Clicking <Auto Fill> causes the test point table to clear and fills in the table with the
points calculated from the Auto Fill instructions ( <Starting Point> , <Ending Point> ,
<Step Value> , <Ascending/Descending Points> ). If the values are such that the
distance from starting point to ending point is not an even multiple of the step value,
the last step value is adjusted to end exactly on the ending point. Points set up by
Auto Fill can be edited directly in the
<Points> table and new points, tares and/or
molbloc changes can be inserted at any point using the <Points> table <Insert>
button (see Section 9.5.2).
Clear
(action button)
Clicking <Clear> at any time causes all entries in the test point table to clear.
