Abstract
An electronic test system with a test results view filter that enables the user to filter the test results of a test program according to their particular datapoint value status. The test results view filter is preferably comprised of graphical elements representing a plurality of test results view filter option buttons grouped together in said test results view filter. Each test result view filter option button is capable of filtering an entire test program for their respective datapoint value status and displaying said filtered datapoint value status. The test results view filter option buttons are selected from the group consisting of: all datapoint value status, failed datapoint value status, marginal datapoint value status, and selected datapoint value status.
Claims35
An electronic test system comprising:
- a memory for storing a test, a measurement, a datapoint, a datapoint value, and a datapoint value status associated with each said datapoint value indicating whether said datapoint value is a passed, marginal, or failed datapoint value;
- an electronic processor communicating with said memory for controlling the execution of said test;
- an input device communicating with said electronic processor for selecting between at least two of the following groups of said datapoint value status:
- all datapoint values, marginal datapoint values, failed datapoint values, or a selected datapoint value;
- and
- an output device communicating with said electronic processor for displaying said selected datapoint value and said associated datapoint value status.
A method for displaying the datapoint values of an electronic test comprising the steps of:
- performing a test procedure to determine a plurality of datapoint values;
- storing said datapoint values and a test specification limit;
- comparing said datapoint values to said test specification limit;
- providing a resultant datapoint value status to each of said datapoint values;
- providing a test results view filter showing two or more of the following test results view filter option buttons:
- an all button, a marginal button, a failed button, and a selected button;
- selecting a test results view filter option button;
- and
- displaying said datapoint values and associated datapoint value status corresponding to said selected test results view filter option button.
A product for displaying datapoint values of an electronic test comprising instructions for directing a processing unit to:
- perform a test procedure to determine a plurality of datapoint values;
- store said datapoint values and a test specification limit;
- compare said datapoint values to said test specification limit;
- provide a resultant datapoint value status to each of said datapoint values;
- provide a test results view filter showing two or more of the following test results view filter option buttons:
- an all button, a marginal button, a failed button, and a selected button;
- select a test results view filter option button;
- display said datapoint values and associated datapoint value status corresponding to said selected test results view filter option button;
- and
- a media readable by said processing unit that stores said instructions.
