Creating Profiles
MTS MultiPurpose TestWare® Model 793.11 Profile Editor 493
How to Assign Actions
Define actions
1. On the Edit menu, select Actions.
2. On the Actions window, add the actions and/or counters required for your
profile.
You can type the name of a predefined action, either user-defined or system
actions, such as those displayed in the Station Manager Event-Action Editor
Action Lists. Be sure to type the exact name of the action and that
delimiters mark each entry (for example, <Digital Output 1>). These action
entries are not case-sensitive.
You can also choose to add “generic” action markers (for example,
<Action1>) to your Actions window action list. These actions must be
mapped to either user-defined or system actions in the MPT Profile Process
(Actions tab). See the MPT section for more information about this
mapping procedure.
3. Close the Actions window.
Single row assignment
Actions can be assigned to a single row or all rows of a profile’s channel grid (as
a constant).
1. On the Profile Editor Edit menu, select Constants.
2. Click the Action box to remove the check, allowing assignment of an action
to each row of the channel grid.
Select from actions or counters previously specified in the Actions window.
You can select None to leave the cell empty. Actions are triggered after the
corresponding row in the profile has played out.
Counters, displayed on the MPT control panel while the process is running,
are incremented after a corresponding row in the profile has played out.
Assigned as a constant
An action (or counter) assigned as constant is triggered (or incremented) after
each row in the channel grid.
1. On the Profile Editor Edit menu, select Constants.
2. Ensure that the Action box is checked, this allows assignment of an action
as a constant for all rows of the channel grid.
3. Select the action (or counter) required as a constant.
