Operator Information
process example
Suppose you want to define an Operator Information process that requires the
operator to type information about the physical specimen condition before the
data acquisition phase of the test starts. You also want to save this information to
a data file labeled “Surface Condition.”
Perform the following steps to define the Operator Information process:
1. On the Parameters tab, click the Add button to create Item1 in the Items
list. In the Type list, click String.
2. In the Label box, type Enter Surface Condition, and then press Enter.
3. Click the Destination tab.
A. In the Destination list, click User-specified data file.
B. In the User Data File box, type Surface Condition, and then press
Enter.
Process output Now, the test will pause when the Operator Information process starts, and the
Operator Information runtime window will appear. The data entry box will be
labeled Enter Surface Condition.
When the test is run, the operator will type the condition of the physical
specimen.
When the operator finishes typing the information and clicks OK, the
information is written to a separate file (named Surface Condition) that is stored
in the MPT specimen, and the procedure resumes with the next process.
