Design Considerations
Profile Design Considerations
There are several design considerations you need to keep in mind when creating a
profile file:
• The selected resources
The Station Manager application and the MultiPurpose TestWare
application must be opened with a configuration file that is compatible with
the profile file.
• The selected dimension
– With standard engineering dimensions, you need to ensure that one of
the profile file dimensions matches one of the control mode dimensions
available in the station configuration.
With normalized dimensions, you can select any of the control modes available
in the station configuration.
The MPT Profile Command and Profile with ALC processes support block-
arbitrary profiles and phase profiles.
You can create a profile using one of the following tools:
• A text editor
• A spreadsheet application
• The MTS Model 793.11 Profile Editor application
Block-arbitrary profiles
A block-arbitrary profile defines a particular command segment (or a series of
segments) for each channel. Each segment can have a different shape, rate, repeat
count, and amplitude.
A block-arbitrary profile can define several channels of data since there is no
interaction between the data channels.
Phase profiles
A phase profile also defines a particular command segment (or a series of
segments) for each channel. However, the segment shape, time base and count
must be the same for each channel.
