Stress testing
Typical test sequence to use Repeat to stress test a device:
1.

3.
4.
Displaying and analyzing test results
After you execute Project Plans or individual Subsite Plans, Device Plans, and tests, you can
display and analyze test results and test definitions using the following tools: the Formulator, the
Sheet tab worksheets, and the Graph tab.
summarize the use of the KITE data display and analysis tools.

Run a single test (green Run button) to acquire a pre-stress set of data for the device. Make
sure to save the data by using the Save As button on the Sheet tab of the ITM.
Use Repeat to stress the device over a period of time.
When finished with the stressing, use the green Run button to run the test one more time to
acquire a post-stress set of data.
Analyze the affect of stressing by comparing the post-stress data to the pre-stress data.

Data
•
Data flow starts at the Definition tab of the ITM or UTM. Here, and in accompanying
interfaces for an ITM, you configure the test.
•
KITE automatically transfers the test configuration to the Settings worksheet of the Sheet
tab for later use. The Settings worksheet records all test configuration information in
Microsoft Excel compatible format.
•
The ITM or UTM executes and generates data, for a device at a specific site.
•
KITE inserts the data in the Data worksheet of the Sheet tab, again in Microsoft Excel-
compatible format.
•
Optionally KITE extracts additional parameter information from the data through the
Formulator, using formulas that you previously create. The Formulator provides more
powerful calculation tools than a spreadsheet (which is also provided in the Calc
worksheet). KITE performs Formulator calculations either immediately after execution or,
for some Formulator functions used with ITM data, in real time (during test execution).
•
KITE inserts the Formulator calculation results into the Data worksheet, in addition to the
raw data.
•
Optionally, you can link or paste data or Formulator calculations from the Data worksheet
into the Calc worksheet of the Sheet tab. Also, you can link entries from the Settings
worksheet into the Calc worksheet. The Calc worksheet provides many of the capabilities
of a Microsoft Excel or other popular spreadsheet, and its format is Excel compatible. KITE
performs real-time calculations as the test is run.
•
Data and results from both the Data worksheet and the Calc worksheet can be plotted in
the Graph tab in a user-specified format, in real time for ITM data and for some ITM
Formulator calculation results. UTMs can also be plotted in real time (see
time plotting for
UTMs).
