Hey Cam,
Will you be switching out the sockets after each 10 minute soak? Or will each socket be soaking for multiple soaks in the 10 week period? And if one does fail and needs to be switched out will the replacing socket just finish out the 10 week stint that the other one couldn't complete?
If you aren't going to switch the sockets out then it's best to loop within the sequence. That way you don't have the overhead of dealing with serial numbers. Just use the Lock step to prevent multiple threads from trying to get the equipment at once. So the sequence would look something like this:
Create Lock
A Label step for looping
Non equipment steps
Lock Eqipment
Run soak test
Unlock Equipment
Examine Pass fail and determine if socket needs to be replaced. If so then either skip to the end or wait until part is replaced.
Post test steps that need to be executed for each iteration
Goto step that jumps back to the Label step above
Hopefully that makes sense. If it doesn't then let me know which version of TS you are running and I'll throw together a simple example.
Regards,
