To launch the Edit LoopStr Source dialog box, select Edit LoopStr Source in the context menu for the LoopStartStr step.
The Edit LoopStr Source dialog box contains the following options:
Target
The Target source allows you to write the value of the internal Loop variable CurrentValue to a TestStand variable each time the step is executed.
· Expression—Specifies the TestStand variable which will receive CurrentValue at each iteration.
Index
The Index source allows you to use a TestStand variable instead of the internal Loop variable Index.
· Mode—Specifies the TestStand variable selection:
- Current step—Step.Index (Default value).
- Other loop step—OtherLoopStepID.Index.
- Any other step—AnyOtherStepID.Index.
- Expression—Any TestStand variable which refers to a number.
|
Note The step description will end by "slave" if Mode is different from Current step. |
· Step—Name of a step from current sequence Main group.
|
Note The Step selector appears only in Other loop step or Any other step mode. |
· Expression—Specifies the TestStand variable used to evaluate the Loop Index.
|
Note The content of Expression field can be modified only in Any other step or Expression mode. |
Values
The Values source allows you to use a TestStand variable instead of the internal Loop variable Values.
|
Note External values are displayed in the Edit LoopStr Configuration dialog box, but they cannot be modified. |
· Mode—Specifies the TestStand variable selection:
- Current step—Step.Index (Default value).
- Other loop step—OtherLoopStepID.Index.
- Any other step—AnyOtherStepID.Index.
- Expression—Any expression which refers to an array of numbers.
· Step—Name of a step from current sequence Main group.
|
Note The Step selector appears only in Other loop step or Any other step mode. |
· Expression—Specifies the TestStand variable used to evaluate Loop Values.
