Name and Describe Test

VI Analyzer Test Creator - Name and Describe Test

The Name and Describe Test page prompts for the test name, ranking, and description. Available options for the ranking are: Low, Normal, and High.

Select Configuration Type

VI Analyzer Test Creator - Select Configuration Type

The Select Configuration Type' page allows users to choose how the configuration page of a test is managed. Available options are: Global-based (recommended) and VI-based.

Global-based

Global-based configuration pages allow tests to store static configuration data in a global variable with no additional functionality. For example, it is not possible to dynamically show or hide a configuration option in a global-based configuration.

VI-based

VI-based configuration pages allow tests to manage configuration data in a VI with more complexity and additional functionality. For example, a configuration option can be shown or hidden depending on a user selection.

Save Path
