Perform Part Average Testing Step (TSM)

Use the Perform Part Average Testing step to perform part average testing for any tests that have part average testing enabled and have already executed for the current DUT. Specify the Perform Part Average Testing step settings in the PAT Algorithm Settings panel of the Test Program Editor. Tests performed by the Perform Part Average Testing step will not be performed after the MainSequence sequence of the test program executes.

The step sets the Result.Status property based on the result of the tests that it performs.
StatusTest Results
DoneThe step did not execute any tests.
PassedThe step executed at least one test and all tests passed.
FailedThe step executed at least one test and at least one test failed.
ErrorA run-time error occurred when executing the PAT algorithm.

Configuring the Step

To enable the step, set the value of the PartAverageTestingAlgorithmDescription.EnvironmentSettings.EnablePerformPartAverageTestingStep file global variable to True in the PAT callback sequence file. TSM reports a run-time error if it executes a Perform Part Average Testing step and this step type is not enabled.

You do not need to configure the Step Settings pane for the step to perform part average tests. The step displays the test results under the Tests tab of the Step Settings pane during program execution, after the step executes. Once the test program finishes executing, the Tests tab is empty.
