Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of a test by providing such a switching processing where only an irreducible minimum of adequacy check among adequacy checks determined unequivocally for each input data is left at the time of the test. CONSTITUTION:Adequacy check by-pass confirmation 30 is a processing which specifies the by-passing of following adequacy checks C23 and D24 and the processing proceeds to an OK side when the by-passing is specified or to an NG side when not. The by-passing of the adequacy checks is specified in a table, etc., by an operator in advance. Consequently, the confirmation of a large number of signal output destinations is tested without paying attention to the adequacy checks C23 and D24 for each signal, specially, when a computer is delivered.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to man-machine setting processing for a computer system, and particularly to a man-machine setting processing method suitable for improving test efficiency.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a method of checking the validity of input data and method has been shown, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-67621.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the man-machine setting process in a computer system, it is essential to check the validity of inputs, but especially when multiple input data are valid, the number of combined processes and the results of those processes. The number of outputs increases considerably.

The above-mentioned conventional technology not only increases the complexity of testing the processing caused by the input and the output itself, but also
No consideration was given to improving test efficiency.

An object of the present invention is to improve the efficiency of testing a considerable number of processes and outputs after confirming that the process for checking the validity of inputs operates normally.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to provide a switching process that leaves only the minimum necessary validity checks among the uniquely determined validity checks for each input data during testing.
By being able to provide test data that focuses on the processing corresponding to input data and the output itself,
achieved.

[Effect]

The validity check switching process leaves only the minimum necessary during testing.

This reduces the number of validity check conditions in man-machine processing, making it easier to operate the processing and output corresponding to input data, thereby improving efficiency in testing.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of man-machine setting processing showing the processing procedure of the present invention. As a specific example, a man-machine setting process for performing digital output (Do output) from the CRT screen to the equipment will be described below.

In FIG. 1, the input processing 10 is a process of accepting the signal name defined for each point with respect to the D○ cutting edge, and the validity check a21 checks the validity of the signal name, and when it is correct, turns it to the ON side. If it is not correct, the process shifts to the NG side. Validity check B22 turns D○ output ON or OFF.
Check the validity of the specification. Validity check bypass confirmation 30 is a process for confirming the designation to bypass the subsequent validity checks C23 and D24, and if there is a bypass designation, the process shifts to the ON side, and if there is no bypass designation, the process shifts to the NG side. The specification to bypass validation checks is
A person sets it on a table etc. in advance. Validity check C2
Step 3 checks whether the equipment receiving the DO output signal is remote or local, and when the remote is on, it goes to the OK side, and when it's local, it goes to the OK side.
Processing moves to the G side. Validity check D24 is D○
It is checked whether the equipment receiving the output signal is in operation or stopped, and when it is in operation, the processing is shifted to the ON side, and when it is stopped, the processing is shifted to the NG side. This flowchart is for simplicity.

Message output is omitted when the validity check is NG. The data editing process 40 includes the input signal name and 0
Edit the D○ cutting edge position and output data based on the N10FF designation. The data output processing 50 outputs a signal to the Do output device based on the position of the D○ cutting edge collected in g and the output data.

According to this embodiment, at the time of testing, especially at the time of computer delivery, the majority of signal ratio cutting edge confirmation tests can be performed without being aware of the validity checks C23 and D24 for each signal. This has the effect of improving time efficiency.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the number of setting conditions in the man-machine setting process can be reduced, there is an effect of improving efficiency when testing with emphasis on data editing processing and output processing.
