Tourmaline Studio Recipe Designer

TheTourmaline Studio Recipe Designer implements an easy- and user friendly interface to conveniently generate Recipes – a collection of processes and operating plans that defines the test, initialization, prepersonalization or any other enhanced encoding sequence to be executed.

The operating plan contains processes and is structured into:

Before Test Session

Actions to be executed after a session has been created

Test Cycle

Defines the actual test- or encoding task

After Test Cycle

Actions to be executed after the test- or encoding task has finished

After Test Session

Actions to be executed once the session has finished
