L3 Creating a Test

3.3.5.3 Cycle for Loop Step When you use either Cycle Count or Cycle Time, you get a single result for the cycle. However, with a Loop step, you get a result for each step. If a step is repeated three (3) times, you will get three independent results recorded as individual Runs.

CAUTION Using a Loop step with a Cycle step in a test is NOT PERMITTED.

Notice in the Loop type of cycle, the Data step is also included in the cycle set. This is because with a loop test, you will get a separate test run with coefficients for each cycle. In this example, the Number of Loops = 10. This means when this test has finished, there will be ten (10) separate test runs- each having its own measured results.
