How to Display Counters and Status Panels
MTS MultiPurpose TestWare® Performing Common Tasks 51
Status counters display Elapsed Time (or Distance) and Total Time (or Total
Distance) counters, and a Percent Completed status bar.
• Elapsed Time displays the time since the process started. Distance displays
the distance traveled since the process started, which is calculated from the
Vehicle Speed entry on the process’ Status tab.
• Total Time displays the anticipated total time required to complete the
process (this does not include any other processes that may be part of the
test). Total Distance displays the anticipated total distance required to
complete the process, calculated from the Vehicle Speed entry on the
process’ Status tab.
• The Percent Completed status bar displays the percentage relationship of
the elapsed time (or distance) versus the total time (or distance) for the
process (the status bar updates according to the update rate of the test,
typically every 10 seconds or so).
