Reload last project at startup: When Reload last project at startup is checked, the
project that was open when you exited KITE reopens automatically when you restart KITE.
Reload tests/plans when opening project: When Reload tests/plans when opening
project is checked, the KITE Workspace interfaces (such as windows) that were open
when you exited KITE reopen automatically when you restart KITE.

Specifying execution preferences

Each Execution Preferences checkbox in the Workspace tab is summarized below:
Continue execution on error: If Continue execution on error is checked, KITE continues
executing a project plan sequence when it encounters errors in one or more tests.
Examples of erroneous tests include ITMs for which no SMUs have been specified and
UTMs that are unconfigured or improperly configured. When KITE encounters the error, it
displays an error message in the message area at the bottom of the KITE window and
continues execution on the next test in the sequence.
Override interlock for voltages less than 20 V: If Override interlock for voltages less
than 20 V is checked AND the Model 4200-SCS interlock circuit is disconnected or
otherwise open, KITE continues to execute tests. However, KITE automatically limits the
output voltage to a safe level, even if a test specifies a higher level.
If Override interlock for voltages less than 20 V is unchecked AND the Model 4200-SCS
interlock circuit is disconnected or otherwise open, KITE displays a warning message and
disables the execution of all tests.
Autoscroll ITM data sheet during execution: If Autoscroll ITM data sheet during
execution is checked AND Sheet tab Data worksheet is being viewed in real time during
test execution, then KITE scrolls the worksheet such that new data is always visible (this
feature is unchecked by default).
Reinitialize hardware when execution completes: If checked, all instruments in the
system will return to their default settings after the test is completed.
WARNING

Customizing directory options

When inserting existing devices, ITMs, and UTMs in a project plan, you can normally choose these
only from the default device library and test library directories. The next two subsections explain
how to expand your choices, using the Directories tab of the KITE Options window.
Open the Directories tab as follows:
1.
In the KITE Tools menu, select Options. The KITE Options window opens, displaying the
Workspace tab by default. See
6-340
If "Reinitialize hardware when execution completes" is disabled
(unchecked), all outputs will remain at their final levels after the test is
completed. Hazardous voltages may be present even though a test is not
running.
