Test Counters

Current and Total counters reset to zero and start over when the segment count reaches 4294967296
(2147483648 cycles).

You can use the Test Counters panel to run a test that requires a preset number of cycles or segments. The
Test Counters panel can also be used to run your test for a limited cycle or segment count to help you evaluate
your test settings before running a longer test.

The Test Counters panel on the Basic TestWare window displays the following controls:
