Example of Sequencing a Single Process
The procedure shown contains one Segment Command process named
“Cheryl’s Ramp.” The diagram that follows illustrates the signals available to
start and interrupt Cheryl’s Ramp.
To start Cheryl’s Ramp, you select a signal in the
Start list. When you first create a test procedure, the
application selects a signal for you. For instance, the
<Procedure>.Start signal is automatically assigned to
the first process on the procedure table.
Start
When Cheryl’s Ramp has completed what it
has been programmed to do, it sends a
“Done” signal displayed as “Cheryl’s
Ramp.Done.” You can use this signal to start
or interrupt other processes.
You can interrupt Cheryl’s Ramp
with any of the signals listed in the
Interrupt list. When a process is
interrupted, it immediately attains its
“done” state, and sends out a done
signal.
