Action: SelectObjects

Function: The action selects one or more objects from the device tree.

Call: Objects test driver

Tab: Configuration

Table 24. Objects to select

Object path of all objects which are selected from the device tree

The objects can be added by dragging them from the device tree or by means of the command Add from navigator (multiple selection possible). Objects can be copied within the list (Clone) and then edited. Individual objects are deleted from the list by means of the Remove command. All entries of the list are deleted by means of the Clear command.

Insert user path

Input of a user path

By clicking the command, the path is applied to the list of the objects to be deleted. In this way, an object path can be specified manually that is currently not reflected in a loaded project.

Tab: Parameters

The parameters defined on the Parameters tab are used to exchange values between test script variables and parameters of test actions. Parameters can be used as placeholders on the Configuration tab. For this, the name of the parameter is set in braces in the configuration dialog. Example: {name}.

Tip

Variables defined globally in the script (with the prefix $GLOBALS.) can be used directly in the test action. It is not necessary to use input parameters for passing. Using output parameters is necessary for writing global variables.

Input parameters: When executing the test action, the values of the test script variables are passed to the input parameters of the test action and can be used in the configuration of the test action.
Output parameters: When executing the test action, the values of the output parameters of the test action are passed to the test script variables and can be used (for example, in other test actions).
Name	Name of the input/output parameter This name is defined in addition to the variable name to identify the origin of the parameter when it is passed to another script. During the test run, this name is displayed as the Outer name on the Variables (scope #<n>) tab in the Test progress window. Background: When a script `A` calls another script `B`, and its variable `x` passes `y` as a parameter to the script `B`, then the parameter `y` is the variable `y` from the point of view of script `B`. To see that this variable is recognized as variable `x` "outside" of script `B`, there is the Name column ("Outer name"). The variable `y` has the name `x` in the scope pf script `B` because it has been passed as variable `x` to the parameter `y` in the scope of the calling script `A`.
Variable	Name of the test script variable Example: `TS_CaseA_Result`
Move Up	Moves the selected variable one line up
Move Down	Moves the selected variable one line down
Remove	Removes the selected variable from the list
