EditBox
The EditBox Control type is the simplest method to allow users to change a parameter value. You can
use this control type for source values (such as voltage or current), pulse timing parameters, or any
other parameter that has a wide range of continuous values. This control type may be used for all
non-array inputs. It is also the default control type for all non-array inputs in dynamically generated
UTM UI views.
The EditBox Control type is shown in
ListBox
Use a list box to specify a value that the user can select, such as a measure or source range.
A ListBox can hold a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 12 values.
If a ListBox Control type is chosen for a parameter, fill in at least one row of the List Items
Configuration.
For the Displayed Name, choose one that briefly explains or represents the UTM value. Create short
displayed names (one or two words are best).
If the user module includes a default value for this parameter, the Default Value field is populated.
However, you can change it using this dialog box.
Be sure to enter appropriate Displayed Units, if applicable. Note that the Displayed Units field does
not affect the test or parameters.
You can enter a tooltip to assist the user in understanding the parameter values. Enter text in the
Displayed Tooltip field with a short informative phrase or sentence. When entering tooltips:
•
Avoid using non-text characters, such as line feed or carriage return.
•
Use standard characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and space) and no symbols.
•
Use simple present tense.
•
Use clear and consistent language.
•
Check your spelling.
When finished, click OK.
You can set conditions that determine when a list box choice is displayed. If the Use Case Condition
is true, the Displayed Name for the row appears in the ListBox.
Before the test runs, a user module and UTM has no information about the system. Therefore, errors
must be generated by manually querying the hardware and trying out a specific command and
retrieving the error status. The Use Case Conditions in the UTM UI view has information about the
system configuration. You can use this to direct the user to select appropriate parameter values. For
example, if a particular current range is only available when a 4225-RPM or SMU preamplifier is
connected on the chosen channel, you can add logic to permit these use case conditions.
There are predefined lists you can select to automatically check to see if an option is in the system.
For example, the figure below shows a list box that is set for the Predefined PMU List. The PMUs are
only displayed if they are available in the system.
