Setting up a Breakpoint Condition

The third possibility to step through an experiment, using a breakpoint condition, lets you specify a condition for an element in your component (e.g. number of revolutions is greater than 5,000). The experiment runs until the condition evaluates to true.

In the experimentation environment, open the Tools menu, point to Event Generator, then point to Step Mode and select Break At Condition to enable the breakpoint step mode.
The Edit Break Condition window is displayed. In this window, you specify the condition up to which the experiment is to run.
This editor can be opened later with the Tools menu, pointing to Event Generator and selecting Edit Break Condition command.
Click the Assign button to choose the name of the element you want to use in the condition.
A selection prompter dialog box displays a list of elements.
Select the desired element and click OK to use the element name.
Edit the remainder of the condition by selecting an operator from the list and enter the corresponding value.
Click OK to confirm.
The experimentation environment displays a text field with the breakpoint condition. You can step through the experiment as described above.
