Select Configure For Loop in the context menu for the step or click Configure For Loop on the General tab of the Step Properties dialog box to launch the Configure For Loop dialog box from a TestStand User Interface .

The Configure For Loop dialog box contains the following options:

• Fixed Number of Iterations —Specifies if the steps within the For block execute repeatedly for a fixed number of loops.
  • Number of Loops —The numeric expression that determines the number of iterations for the For block.
  • Loop Variable —The numeric expression that determines the variable or property into which to store the current iteration number for the For block.
• Custom Loop —The custom looping behavior for the steps within the For block.
  • Initialization —The expression the step evaluates before executing the steps within the block for the first time.
  • Condition —The expression the step evaluates each time before executing the steps within the block. If the expression evaluates to True , execution proceeds to the first step in the block. If the expression evaluates to False , execution proceeds to the End step for the For block.
  • Increment —The expression the step evaluates after each execution of the steps within the block.
