MPT Options Editor Recovery Tab
Use the Recovery tab to determine how often the application saves a “snapshot”
of the test state and status.
Access
From the MPT control panel or MPT Procedure Editor windows, the access path
is:
> Recovery tab
Or, from the MPT Procedure Editor window, an alternate path is:
Tools > Options Editor > Recovery tab
Specimen Log Append—Causes new messages to be added to the end of the MPT Specimen
Log file.
Overwrite—Clears the MPT Specimen Log when you start a new test (that is,
when you click Run after the test has been reset), which causes new messages
to write over existing messages in the MPT Specimen Log file.
Clear Counters on
Reset Enables and disables the clear function for the Run Time, Channel Counters,
and Profile Counters (it does not affect the Sequence Counters).
When enabled, the affected counters are cleared (reset to zero) whenever you
click the Reset button.
When disabled, the affected counters are not cleared (reset to zero) when you
click the Reset button.
Not resetting the counters can affect various test related functions. For
example, it can affect counter related limits (not resetting may cause you to
exceed a segment or cycle related limit). Counter resets are sometimes used to
indicate the start of a new test in your data file. Without the resets, multiple
iterations of a test may be viewed as one long test.
