An Analysis Definition Contains Views, Displays, Variables, DAQ Mappings, and Functions
3.2.7.0 Analysis Runs
Analysis runs apply the views and variables of an analysis definition to the data from one or more test runs
stored in the same test. An analysis run does not alter the original test data, but uses the data to produce an
independent set of analysis results. An analysis run contains the analysis results and any reports generated
within the analysis run.
An analysis run does not contain the calculations, variables, or displays used to generate and view the results.
This information is stored in the analysis definition. If you change anything in the analysis definition, those
changes are updated the next time you view an analysis run based on that analysis definition. Multiple analysis
definitions can be saved and used for a given test. Additionally, multiple analysis runs can exist in a test.
When the data from two or more analysis runs are contained in the same analysis, the collection is called a
multi-run analysis.
