During Diagnostic Profiling, a user
defines a number of tests that may be applied to the design in run-time. The
definition of these tests become an intrinsic part of the Diagnostic Knowledge
Base. Several different test scenarios may be applicable to run-time
environments. One of the main purposes of the Maintenance Simulator is to
evaluate test effectiveness of various test scenarios. To define a Test
Scenario, press the Test Scenario button from the main screen. A new screen will
appear, as shown below.
At the leftmost window are the list of Test Scenarios
that have been already defined for this model. The middle box contains a list of
all of the tests that have been defined in the currently loaded diagnostic
knowledge base. To define a Test Scenario, highlight those tests which you wish
to include in the scenario from the middle box, and press add selected tests.
The selected tests will appear in the rightmost list box. You must save the test
scenario. Point and click on the box at the top of the Test Scenarios list. Type
in a name describing the test scenario that you have just defined, and press the
Save Scenario button. The event will now be saved and will appear in the Test
Scenarios list. You can delete test scenarios and retrieve test scenarios using
the so-named buttons.
To return to the Maintenance Simulator
screen, press the Maintenance Simulator button.
