Pilot Tape Generation

A pilot tape can be loaded on a TUT to be used during package test. The pilot tape will be loaded before PTV begins to process the test unit if you code this request in the RUNID. The following information should be entered on the RUNID at the appropriate position. Refer to RUNID for the required format.

Pilot Identifier: The word PILOT in position 8-12 tells the STC utility that a pilot tape will be created.

Pilot System Identification Number: If a nonblank character is entered at position 14, a pilot tape for the basic subsystem is loaded. If position 14 is blank, the basic subsystem pilot tape is not loaded. However, if a previous test unit loaded a pilot, that pilot remains with all modifications made to it unless the database restore option is activated. The basic subsystem pilot tape cannot be loaded if the subsystem user tape is loaded.

Subsystem Pilot Tape Use: If a nonblank character is entered in position 15, a pilot tape for the subsystem user is loaded. If position 15 is blank, the subsystem user pilot tape is not loaded. The subsystem user pilot tape cannot be loaded if the basic subsystem pilot tape is loaded.

Global Storage Load Mode: Position 16 is one digit. Decimal digits 1-9 are selected to indicate the amount of storage that should be loaded. The storage amount that corresponds to the various digits 1-9 are set by you.
