Block Updates

Block Updates
 
Use the Dynamic filter to select a defined group of Test points and then apply the values entered in the Block Update fields shown.  Warnings are provided if there is no Dynamic filter applied, because this would mean that the Block Updates would be applied to all the Test Points for the UUT.
 
Warning - Block Updates cannot be undone.

Update GXY Values
1. Update GXY Values
The GXY values can be updated in a number of different ways:
  • They can be cleared by selecting 'Clear', which will clear each on the entries for the coordinates and pin size.
  • Updating the pin size by selecting 'New Pin Size', and entering a value in the adjacent field.
  • Each of the coordinates X or Y can be update individually by selecting 'New X Cord' or 'New Y Cord', and entering a value in the adjacent field. 
  • Each of the coordinates X or Y can be update changed with an offset by selecting 'Offset X Cord' or 'Offset Y Cord', and entering a value in the adjacent field.
  • Each of the TPs selected can can be aligned to the top most, bottom most, left most and right most 'Align X etc...'.
  • Finally, selecting either of the Default GXY graphic names will update the X, Y coordinates and associated pin size to the values held by NODES™ for the graphic name selected.
 
The update will be applied to the sub-group of the Dynamic filtered Test Points, by selecting either Empty, which will only include those coordinates that have no values, or All which will update the whole of the Dynamically filtered Test Points.
