Manual/EUT Information tab

EUT Information tab

The EUT Information tab, can be used to specify EUT specific information. This tab contains a list of information items which is a general list of items that affect almost all EUT’s. However some end-users do not need certain fields, and other end-users always need some additional fields. It is possible for end-users to specify 'Customizable EUT Information items'. The end-user can add an unlimited number of information items, and for each Information item a 'string' value can be specified. Each name of an information item should be unique compared to all other names in the information items list.

Some examples of additional information fields that can be needed are:

• Motor capacity
• Microcontroller board Firmware
• Website name of product
• Responsible engineer
• Name of account manager
• Market on which the product will be solved
• etc..

The list of information items will be represented as a 'list control' with two columns: 'Name' and 'Value'. If a value needs to be changed, the value can be edited in-line. Multi-line values are allowed. If a name needs to be changed, the name can also be edited in-line. It is not possible to specify a name that is already available.

Three buttons are be available below the list. Add, Edit and Remove:

Add	Will create a new row, and will insert the edit point in the name of the information item

Edit	Will set the edit-point in the value of the information item. This button is only enabled if an information item is selected.

Remove

Will remove the selected information items without a confirmation. This button is only enabled if one or more information items are selected.

Double clicking in the information item name will activate the edit-point in the name field, then the name of the information item can be changed. Single clicking on the information item value will activate the edit-point in the value field, the value of the information item can then be changed.

Clicking on a column header will sort the contents of the list in alphabetic order. If the same column header is clicked again, the sorting will be reversed. The information item list will be alphabeticly sorted on the information item name, when it is first shown.

The contents of each field can be retrieved in the report generator with the code: ||EUT|<INFORMATION ITEM NAME>||, where the <INFORMATION ITEM NAME>, is the name of the information item. For example: ||EUT|Condition uport receipt|| will be replaced with the corresponding value (which is 'Good' in the above example). The report generator will check the list of information items as last. This means that other Report generator codes of the EUT file will have a higher priority to be included in the report.

A '|' is not allowed in the information item name to prevent confusion of the report templates. Valid characters in the information item name are: 'a-zA-Z0-9' and the dot '.', dash '-', underscore '_', hash '#' and plus '+'. Spaces are allowed, but not at the begin or the end. Other characters are not allowed in the information item name. All characters are allowed in the value of a information item.

Copy and Paste EUT information

Since RadiMation 2020.3 it is possible to copy and paste eut information from other applications like Word, Excel or text format.

Paste plain data

The copied data can be a plain list or in tabular format, it will be pasted in the cells (Name or Value) and the cells below it, it will replace the existing values.

Copied tables from Word and Excel will automatically be detected, however in text files (for example data copied from notepad) columns must be separated with a '\t' (tab), '=', ':', or ';' character.

Paste data with headers, merging data

When tabular data is pasted with a header (Name and Value) on the first line, the data will be merged into the current eut information table from the point where data is pasted. If the data contains a row for Name that doesn't exist, it will be added to the list.

Cables

RadiMation^® is capable of storing a lot of EUT related information, this includes information on the cables connected to the EUT.

Every cable of the EUT can be specified by adding, editing and removing items in the cable information. Go to the EUT Information tab in the EUT window. The lower section of this tab is dedicated to information on the cables connected to the EUT.

Adding cable information

To add information about a cable, click ‘Add’. A dedicated Cable window will appear.

When tabular data is pasted with a header on the first line, the data will be merged (based on matching description) into the current cable information table from the point where data is pasted. If the data contains a row for a cable description that doesn't exist, it will be added to the list.

Allmost all cable fields are free text, however, except the "Port type", this field can only contain a value exactly as shown in the drop down menu for a cable.

A table with all the details of all the cables can be included in the report generator with the ||EUT|CABLE TABLE|| code.
