MTS TW Elite - Manual (Page 47)

Resources Subtab with Imported Resources
Resource mapping
A test resource is not required to have the same name as the equivalent controller resource. For instance,
in the example test, the control mode test resource is labeled “Crosshead”, and the equivalent controller
resource is labeled “_Extension”.
However, if the names are different when TWE connects to the controller, you must map the test resource
to the equivalent controller resource.
Suppose you disconnect the example test from the controller and reconnect to a different controller in
which the equivalent resource is labeled “_Displacement”. In this case, TWE would be unable to
automatically map the new controller resource “_Displacement” to the test resource “Crosshead”, and a
validation icon would appear in the window.
To resolve the error, you would have to manually map the controller resource to the test. To do this, you
would click the list icon next to the “_Displacement” test resource and select “Crosshead”.
Resource mapping is saved with the test.
Note:
When you create tests while the TWE application is connected to a controller, it is referred to as
“online” test design. You can also perform “offline” test design.
Test Definition Subtab
The Test Definition subtab of the Define tab shows general settings for the test, including:
• The Formula Assistant File
• The Log Type, which determines whether an audit trail is created for the test.
• Whether the test can be started remotely with a digital input.
• Whether the display automatically switches to the Review tab at the completion of a test run.
