Continuous Mode Test Setup Screen

Continuous Handoff Test Setup Screen

The 

Continuous Mode Test Setup Screen

 is used to

configure Continuous Handoff Mode tests.  The

Continuous Mode Test Setup Screen

 is divided into

several sections.  

Data entry fields allow the user to enter details about
the equipment being tested. 

Active Mode timeouts are entered in the three 

ACTIVE

EQUIPMENT TIMER SETTINGS

 box fields (

TA

1,

 TA

2,

 TA

3). 

Passive Mode timeouts are entered in the six

 box fields (

D

T

 box field (TD1).

COMMENTS

 field is also provided to allow the user to

enter test specific comments.  

All fields (with the exception of the 

COMMENTS

 field) must be entered before automated testing can begin.

The bottom right side of the screen lists check-off boxes to select pre-defined Continuous Mode Tests
provided by the 

E84 Emulator

.  The user simply checks off the desired tests.  Next to each test definition

on the right side of the screen is a field that shows the current test results for each test.  Initially, the fields
are empty since no tests have been run.  Once each test is executed, the individual test results (Pass,
Fail, Untested) are displayed in these fields.  For details on the available Continuous Mode tests, see the

Test Plans

 section towards the end of this manual.

This field shows the list of currently selected handoff’s.  When running test A (active mode), this list
defines the sequence of handoff’s requested by the 

E84 Emulator

 acting as the active equipment.  When

running test C (passive mode), this list defines the sequence of handoff’s the 

E84 Emulator

 expects to

see when acting as the passive equipment.  When running test B (TP6 Timeout Error), the first handoff in
the list is requested by the 

E84 Emulator

, after which the TP6 timeout error is verified.  

At least one handoff must be placed in this list before testing can begin.
