Example 6.2: Creating a Procedure Record
In this example, we will create a Procedure record by employing the New... button
on the Procedure Selection screen. Specifically, we will create a new
Procedure record that will provide test procedure information for a customized
“3 up/down” test strategy.
After working through this example, you may want to have the Admin rebuild the
sample records to ensure that other personnel have access to the correct sample
records.
1. Perform a Quick Search to access the Instrument View screen for any Tag
ID record.
2. Select the Test Procedure tab to display the Test Procedure page.
3. Click on the Procedure... button. Enter search criteria on the subsequent
Quick Search screen and select the Search button. The Procedure
Selection screen appears, displaying all records matching your search
criteria.
At this point, we could either create a new Procedure based on an existing one, or
we could create a Procedure from “scratch,” as we will.
4. Select the New... button. The Add Procedure screen appears.
5. Enter “MYPROCEDURE1” (excluding the quotes) in the Procedure Name
field.
6. Select “3 up/down” from the Test Strategy Pick list. The testpoints for the
“3 up/down” test strategy are displayed in the Testpoints field.
Now, we’ll customize the testpoints (by changing both 50% values to be 40%),
and we’ll also add some setup and wrapup messages.
7. Select the first 50% value in the Testpoints field. The Testpoints field box
changes to include three buttons (+, -, and Edit).
8. Select the Edit button at the bottom of the Testpoints field box. A dialog
box appears.
9. Since the value “50.00” is already highlighted in the dialog box, just type “40”
(excluding the quotes) and that value will appear in place of the “50.00”.
10. Select the OK button. The change is reflected in the Testpoints field. Also
notice that the value in the Test Strategy field has changed from “3
up/down” to “Other”. The new value of “Other” signifies that we have
modified the original “3 up/down” procedure.
11. Perform the same steps as just described to change the remaining 50% value in
the Testpoints field to 40%.
