L2 Plus Creating a Test

3.4.1 Coefficient Definition The term coefficient is used to represent a result. The result may be configured prior to the test in the Data step, or the result may be determined using the graph of your test and the associated analysis tools. NOTE A coefficient is a result.

3.4.1.1 Coefficient Types Coefficients are categorized into types according to their ability to measure a particular trait of your test result. These types also help you find the particular measurement result you are looking for. Every coefficient has a Data Definition menu that permits you to customize the coefficient so you get the exact measurement result you need. NOTE The Data Definition view for a coefficient displays “coefficient sets”. Included are the associated coefficients for a particular type. For example, for Maximum Load, also displayed in a separate tab is the coefficient for Distance @ Maximum Load and the coefficient for Time @ Maximum Load.

Coefficient types are listed in the following table.
