"In range and coerce" function should have an option for a relative mode in addition to the current absolute mode.

Save time and cleaner code by supporting a commonly used operation in test sequences. The In range and coerce would have

a mode to specify absolute (current operation) or relative mode where you wire a Center Value and Range instead of Upper Limit and Lower Limit.

Upper Limit=Center Value + Range

Lower Limit = Center Value - Range

Trivial to do but used commonly enough to be annoying to have to do that.

Agreed. And similar to the existing functionality, you should be able to set whether the number calculated from the range is an inclusive or exclusive limit.

How about adding a Boolean to make the upper and lower limits a percentage of the center value?

[JackDunaway]

Good idea about the percentage, but rather than an input parameter determining the operation, I would rather see a polymorphic selector on the overloaded function. (This would preclude runtime switching of the function behavior, but I don't imagine a scenario where runtime switching is desirable).
