About the Restore Procedure State Selections
If test recovery is enabled, the MPT application records the state and run-time
status of the test as specified on the Recovery tab of the MPT Options Editor.
This data is recorded in the mps recovery file in the MPT specimen.
In the Load Specimen window, when you select a procedure that has run against
the current MPT specimen, you can use the Restore procedure state to control
to reset or restore the procedure state.
One or more of the following options are available:
• Reset—restores the selected procedure to its starting state, with counters
reset to zero.
• Saved state: Done—restores the procedure in its done state, and includes a
record of counter values as they were when the test was complete.
• Saved state: In progress—restores the procedure back to the point the test
was stopped, and includes a record of the test’s counter values, hydraulic
status, and so on, at that time. This is the appropriate selection if you wish to
recover a test; that is, you have selected the snapshot procedure and wish to
resume the test at, or close to, the point it was interrupted.
• Saved state: Error—brings the procedure back to the point at which it was
stopped by an error condition (there may be a corresponding entry in the log
file that reveals more information).
