3.3.7 Using Coefficients in Test Steps Coefficients (results) from test steps may be used as inputs in other steps within your test setup. If a result from a step is to be used as an input, the step suppling the result must occur BEFORE the test step that will use the result. NOTE A result from a step may be used as an input in another test provided the result occurs BEFORE the input step. 3.3.7.1 Using Prompt Coefficients You may use the answer to an Ask step as the input to a step that comes after the Ask step. In this example, the test speed for the go to Load step is going to be changed by the operator in increments of 10% beginning with a starting test speed of 10 in/min. An Ask step is used that preceeds the go to Load step. During the Ask step, the operator enters the new test speed for the load step.
L2 Plus Test Builder - Prompt Step Operator will enter the Speed required for a Go To Load step The operator enters a value in response to the ASK step. The value entered uses the units of measure already setup for speed, e.g. mm/min for this test setup.
L2 Plus Test Builder - Prompt Step The Speed value will come from the ASK Step labeled Speed
The operator enters a value in response to the ASK step. The value entered uses the units of measure already setup for speed, e.g. mm/min for this test setup. The value the operator enters is read by the go to Load target step of 100N. The operator entered the value 25, e.g. 25 mm/min. The crosshead will move at this velocity until the load target of 100N is reached.
On the next test run, the operator may change the Ask response to 50. The next test run will perform at a velocity of 50 mm/min.
