Test Groups Configuration

A test group is a logical container which groups one or more DUT's together with one or more power supplies and temperature sensors. You need to define at least one test group.

Groups

To add a test group simply click on an empty row in the grid and type a name. To delete a test group select a row and press the DEL key on your keyboard.

The Max. Runtime parameter is the desired runtime in hours of the tests running under this group. You can later change this parameter in the F10 - test parameter configuration dialog.

The TCC mask determines, which of the total of 8 TCC inputs you want to use for this group. You can use all 8 inputs or just a subset of them. You can also use the same inputs in multiple groups. The TCC mask determines, which TCC indicators are displayed for each group in main window's group display or in the F10 - test parameter configuration dialog.

If you move your mouse cursor over such an TCC input indicator, a tooltip appears, showing the TCC indicator index. The index goes from 1 to 8 (left to right).

Finally you assign one or more of the available power supplies (PS) and temperature sensors (TS) to each group. Those are defined in the module configuration file, which you need setup before running the project wizard. Multiple power supplies and temperature sensors are differentiated by a 1-based index following its fixed prefix (PS or TS). In TestStand you can refer to those power supplies and temperature sensors by using that index.
