Procedure Type
This Pick field appears on the Test Procedure page and contains two
choices, “Custom” and “Standard”. When a Procedure is selected (via the
Procedure... button), the parameters associated with that Procedure appear
on the Test Procedure page and the Procedure Type value is set to
“Standard”. In order to customize these parameters for the specific Tag ID,
you must change the Procedure Type value to “Custom”. When you do so,
the values within the Test Strategy, Testpoints, Setup Messages,
Wrap-up Messages, and Adequacy Delta fields (from the Procedure
database) are copied into the Tag ID database versions of these fields, which
now appear on the form. Also, the Procedure field disappears since you are
no longer working with an actual record from the Procedure database, but
rather a “local” copy of this same information. You may then modify these
fields for the specific Tag ID without affecting the original Procedure record.
If you change the Procedure Type value from “Standard” to “Custom”,
then change it back to “Standard”, the Procedure will be undefined. In this
case, the Default Testpoints (set via the Setup Options screen) will be
used for this Tag ID unless a new Procedure is selected.
