Trigger Mode Trigger Once causes the process to generate a trigger and a done signal when
the specified event occurs.
Trigger Continuously causes the process to generate a trigger signal when the
specified event occurs. When you make this selection, the process will only
terminate upon an interrupt or when its parent group or procedure ends.
Trigger For Duration is the same as the Trigger Continuously control except
you can specify the duration in which the process remains active. When
selected, the End After control is enabled. With the End After control, you
can specify the time the process ends in relation to its first trigger.
Log Message As Assigns a severity level to the message (in ascending levels of severity:
Diagnostic, Information, Warning, or Error) and makes the message
available to the MPT Specimen Log.
If the Station Manager Station Log and the Basic TestWare Test Log are
configured to accept messages from all sources, then MPT makes the message
available to them also.
Note Unlike Station Manager and Basic TestWare, MPT does not generate
messages with a severity level of Fatal Error.
Each type of log will accept the message only if it has been configured to store
messages with the assigned severity level.
For instance, if the MPT Specimen Log is configured to accept messages with
a minimum severity level of Warning, and you assign Information as the
severity level for this message, then this message will not be recorded in the
MPT Specimen Log. In that instance the MPT Specimen Log would accept
messages having only Warning and Error severity levels.
You can specify the minimum severity level that each type of log will accept.
To do this:
• For MultiPurpose TestWare, select the MPT Options Editor, then
select the Specimen Log tab.
• For Station Manager, select Tools, then select Station Options, then
select the Station Log tab.
• For Basic TestWare, select Test Setup, then select the Test Log tab.
