- PH3
- In phase 3 (package test) mode, more than one test unit can be included on
a test unit tape (TUT). A test unit can also span more than one TUT
tape. PTV starts automatically when it runs in phase 3 mode.
During each test unit and after each test unit is complete, you can enter live
input if you specified live input on the RUNID card.

TUT tape. However, this test unit can span more than one TUT

commands. You can enter live input during the unit test.
- LIVE
- Live mode stops PTV and returns control to the TPF system.
