Preparing a test

Select the desired test using the test selector in the header.

Optionally, enter an SIE data file name in the Task pane. If no name is entered, the file name defaults to the setup file name. A unique file name is assigned based on the SIE file name pattern setting defined in the Test setup. The SIE filename cannot be changed after a test run is started; however, it can be changed after the test run is stopped.

Optionally, provide a test run description in the Task pane. This information is embedded in the SIE file as metadata and cannot be changed after the test run is started. Information entered here will show in a Run description column in the Test and data control SIE data page. If no information is entered, the column will show the text No Run Description. See SIE data for more information.

Live updates

In the header by the Test selector, click Start live updates or Stop live updates as needed to control live updates. These controls in Test configuration and Test control both control live updates. See Test setup > Live updates for more information about options.
