About the Variable Editor
You use the Variable Editor to create, modify, delete, and organize variables.
Variable categories
Variable categories help you organize variable types. When you open the
Variable Editor, “category 1” is available by default.
To use variables, you are not required to add or rename categories. However,
doing so may help you differentiate variable types. For example, you may want
to create one category that pertains to command variables and another that
pertains to data acquisition variables.
Categories are saved and restored with the test procedure, and are available in the
print preview display.
