Defining Setup Options

You can define setup options from the DUTs-Setups panel. A setup contains definitions for inputs, outputs, instrument options, measuring and simulating, and results.

To view and edit a setup, select a setup from the DUTs-Setups panel.

Note


To detach the setup window for convenient editing, click on Detach below the DUT/Setup tree.

The Measure/Simulate folder opens so you can define the inputs and outputs for a particular setup.

Viewing or Editing Input or Output

Setup input and output data are listed in a table (sometimes called a tile). You can edit input and output in one of two ways:

    • Edit directly in the table. Click or double-click a field and type the new data.

    • Use the Input or Output Editor. To open the Input or Output Editor, first select the table and then click Edit. Edit the fields and click OK.

Output parameters can be derived from Measured data, Simulated data, or Both.

To view the raw data for an input or output, select one or more tables then click View.

Note


You can enable the Input/Output Finder mode in the Measure/Simulate folder. The Input/Output Finder mode adds an area that lists the Setup's inputs and outputs. When enabled, you can quickly bring data into view by selecting one or more of the inputs and outputs in the list.

To enable the mode for a Setup, open the Setup Variables folder. Enter the variable name SHOW_INPUT_OUTPUT_FINDER in the Name field, then enter yes, true, or a non-zero integer in the Value field. If you change the variable's setting after opening the Model, you must close (File > Close), then reopen, the Model window for the new setting to take effect.

Viewing or Editing Instrument Options

The Instrument Options table is available after the hardware has been set up.

To edit instrument options, select the Instrument Options folder.

For details on Hardware Setup, refer to Chapter 5, "Making Measurements."

Defining Setup Variables

The Setup Variables folder contains the names and values of all variables that are global to the Setup.

To view the Setup variables, select Setup Variables.
