Generic Data Editor

Aus ExpeccoWiki

The generic data editor is used to set the values generated by a test data generator block. It can be found on the "Data" tab after selecting a test data generator in the navigation tree.

To the right, you see an example for some data in the editor.

Buttons

• Add a new entry to the data list
• Remove the selected entry in the data list
• Change the sequence of the data

Usage

The editor is separated in at least two columns. The first one contains the number of the entry and the second one contains the delay for the entry. The other columns contain data for each output pin. Please note that the list will be sorted according to the time delay.

When the block is invoked during an execution, it will send the data from the list to its output pins after the specified delay. The block in the example above would start immediately by sending the string 'One' to its output pin. Then, after a delay of one second it would send the string 'Two', after two seconds 'Three' and so on.

See Also

As an alternative to a test data generator block, you can also use an attachment containing CSV data records and feed that data into a CSV-reader block (found in the standard library). The contents of a CSV attachment can be edited with a spreadsheet application (Excel or Staroffice) or a text editor (notepad), which is often more convenient to use (but may take longer to start up).
