SawToothPatternDescriptor Object


Description:

The ending load height is the same as the beginning (similar to burst). There is no ramp to the height of a saw tooth, just a series of steady values, alternating between the pause height and the saw tooth height.

Parents: ClientLoadPhase, ProtocolLoadPhase

SawToothPatternDescriptor Writable Attributes

Attribute Description
Common Writable Attributes Active, Name
Height

Enter the total amount of load related to the load type (for example, Connections) that the system achieves. To keep the system from overwhelming your network, start small and increase these parameters proportionately.

Type: s32

Default: 30

PauseTime

Enter the pause time between bursts. The Duration Units that you select determine the units for this field.

Type: u32

Default: 20

Repetitions

Enter the number of times that you want the pattern to repeat. The system performs best if you limit your values between 1 and 10. Values above 50 can cause the display to redraw slowly. The actual load generation while running the test will not be adversely affected.

Type: u32

Default: 1

SteadyTime

Enter the amount of time the step takes. Larger step Heights should have equally increased step Steady Times. If the step time is longer than it takes for the load to reach the unit count related to the load type, the system decreases load generation to keep the outstanding load at a steady state equal to that of the desired unit count. When using a sinusoid pattern, setting the Steady Time to one achieves a smoother waveform. The Duration Units that you select determine the units for this field.

Type: u32

Default: 40
