    System PulseMeter Action Properties


    Action Properties Dialog

    To open "Action Properties" dialog select "Tools"->"Manage Actions" in the main menu. "Manage Actions" dialog will be displayed. In the  "Manage Actions" dialog add a new action or select an action from the list on the right and click "Edit" button.

    You can use default common action properties in the "Action properties" dialog.

    Common Action Properties

    • "Action name" property - this field contains default action name. You can modify it by inputting a new value.
    • "Perform by" property - select whether action should be performed by the core or by one of the registered System PulseMeter agents.
    • "Perform this action when" - set whether the action should be activated when test  passes or fails. To activate action when test results change (for example, from passing to failing) check both values.
    • "Number of result recurrences before start" - set how many times test should return the same result before performing the action. For example, action can be performed after 5 test fails.
    • "Repeat" property - select "Until result changes" if you want the action to be performed until test returns a different result. For example, you can set the action to be performed every time the test fails until it passes.
    • "Number of times" action - select this option and modify it's value to perform the action certain number of times. For example, you can set the action to be performed 3 times, instead of been repeated all the time until test fails.

    Specific Action Properties

    In the "Action Properties" dialog you can set specific action properties, depending on actions type.

To select a process from the list, click the "Get Process List" button. All available processes will be added to a drop-down list in the "Process Name" field.
    • Priority - the priority to be set for the process.
