SunVTS 5.0 User's Guide

Getting Started With the Deterministic Scheduler

  1. Start SunVTS with the SunVTS TTY user interface as described in "Starting SunVTS" on page (INSERT THE RIGHT X-REF for ch. and page#).

  2. Start the Dterministic Scheduler as described below:

    1. Use Control-F to view the choices on the third line in the Control panel. Use arrow keys to highlight dsched (Deterministic Scheduler) and press return.

      The Deterministic Scheduler menu is displayed.

      INSERT GRAPHIC (dsched menu)

    2. Start the Deterministic Scheduler by highlighting and pressing return on StartDS in the Dsched Menu.

      INSERT GRAPHIC (start DS menu) HERE. Link it to step 2?

  3. Create your task(s) as described below:

    1. Invoke the Task Manager screen by selecting Task Manager in the Start DS menu.

      The Task Manager screen is displayed.

      INSERT GRAPHIC (task manager screen) HERE.

    2. To see the list of existing tasks, select List... from the Task Manager screen and press return.

      The Tasks Available menu is displayed with the list of Available Tasks.

      INSER GRAPHIC (tasks available menu with available tasks(TTY) HERE.

      Note -

      If this is the first time that the Deterministic Scheduler is used, you must create a minimum of one task.

    3. In the Test Groups panel, configure a test session (select one or more devices and your desired test mode).

      If you assign more than one test to a task, the order of the tests within this task cannot be predicted. If you want to control the order of every test, assign only one test for each task.

      When the Deterministic Scheduler is started, it changes the default values of Max System Passes from 0 (run indefinitely) to 1 (run one pass). This is necessary so that each task only runs selected tests once and proceeds to run subsequent tasks in the sequence.

    4. In the Task Manager screen, enter a task name, in the Task File text field.

    5. Select Store to save the task.

      Your task is created. To check your task, perform Step b.

    6. Repeat Step c through Step e to create additional tasks.

    7. To see the test session configuration for a particular task, invoke the Task Available screen by selecting List... and select a particular task. The selected task appears in the Task File field. Select Load in the Task Manger screen.

      The SunVTS Status panel shows the SunVTS test configuration associated with the selected task.

    8. To modify a task:

      Select the task from Tasks Available screen; load it by selecting the Load from the Task Manager screen; change the test configuration in the Test Groups panel; and select Store in the Task Manager screen.

      INSERT GRAPHIC (List...menu showing all sequence files in Sequence Manager) HERE.

      The Sequence Files menu is displayed with the list of existing sequences.

      Note -

      Use Control-F/Control-B to scroll through all the sequences.

    3. Enter the name of the sequence file you want to create in the Sequence Name test field.

    4. Select the Task Insert/Delete -> Insert Tasks on Sequence Manager screen. The Tasks Available screen is displayed.
