TestWare-SX Operator Information

The Operator Information process allows you to create a form that is displayed when the Operator Information process runs during a test.  The form contains entry fields defined during test setup that allow the operator to enter comments and other production information during the test sequence. The information entered into the form is recorded in the data file.

More Information

The Operator Information Design window names the process and sequences it in a test template.

The Operator Information Parameters window allows you to create the operator information form that is displayed when the Operator Information process runs.

The Field Definition Window is used to define the characteristics of each field of the operator information form.

The Range Definition Window window allows you to set limits on what the operator can enter into each field of the operator information form.


Design Window

This window specifies how the process starts and stops. The information in this window is saved with the test template.

Using the window

1	Name the process with the Label entry field.

2	Select a Start Trigger to specify when the process starts.

3	Select an End Trigger to specify when the process stops. Use the default <none>trigger if you want the process to complete without interruption.

Define Form

Each line in the Define Form window represents a field in the operator information form. Select a field by clicking on it.

There can up to 100 fields per form.  Add additional operator information processes to your test template if you need additional fields.

Insert

Opens the Field Definition window. This allows you to insert a new field immediately in front of the selected field and define the characteristics of that field.  The <end of form> marker can be selected for the purpose of inserting a field at the end of the form.

Delete

Deletes the selected field. Be sure you no longer need the field before deleting it; it cannot be recovered.

Edit

Opens the Field Definition window and allows you to change the characteristics of the selected field. You can also open this window by double clicking on the desired field.

The Operator Information Parameters window allows you to create the operator information form that is displayed when the Operator Information process runs.

Use the Range Definition Window to limit the values the operator can enter in each field of the operator information form.


Field Definition Window
Range Definition Window

The Range Definition window is available from the Field Definition  window whenever you insert or edit a field defined as a Real or an Integer.  It allows you to define a range for each field that will control the value that can be entered in that field when the form is displayed during the test.  Check boxes allow you to control whether the entered value is tested against a maximum, a minimum, or both.

Minimum

Check this box and enter a value if you want to ensure that the operator must enter a value greater than or equal to the minimum value you specify.

Inclusive

Check this box if the operator is allowed to enter a value equal to the minimum value you specify.  If you specify a minimum, but do not check this box, the operator’s value must be strictly greater than your minimum.

Maximum

Check this box and enter a value if you want to ensure that the operator must enter a value less than or equal to the maximum value you specify.

Inclusive

Check this box if the operator is allowed to enter a value equal to the maximum value you specify.  If you specify a maximum, but do not check this box, the operator’s value must be strictly less than your maximum.
