state to
Since the MPT specimen was last run against the modified version of “def.000,”
you can choose the state to which it restores. In this case the saved state is Done,
so selecting the saved state restores the procedure to its done state, and includes
information such as counter values as they were when the test was complete.
Selecting Reset restores the procedure to its starting point, with counters set to
zero.
The Saved state information is stored in the mps file. If the test had been
inadvertently interrupted and you wished to resume the test at (or close to) the
point of interruption, you would choose this selection.
In this scenario, if you select the Procedure assigned to the Specimen and select
the Restore procedure state to: Saved State options, then the runtime state is
restored to a different procedure than the one that was running when it was saved.
If changes to the procedure included adding, removing, or renaming processes,
however, the runtime state may not restore completely, and a warning message is
displayed.
Procedure Has Been Modified and Run Against the MPT Specimen Without Being

Suppose you load procedure “def.000” into memory, modify it without saving
your changes, and then run it against MPT specimen Sample 1. Next, you load
procedure “abc.000” from the File menu, and select Sample 1 in the MPT
control panel. When you do this, a window appears with the following selections:
