How to Select A Duty Cycle to apply to an Operating mode
When a duty cycle list is selected for an Operating Mode, the failure rates used by analyses for which that Operating Mode is selected will be scaled using the factors defined within the selected duty cycle list. Duty cycle lists can be selected on the Operating Mode's Context panel Details tab (depicted below). Select will open the window shown to the right to select the Duty cycle from the Duty Cycle list. The chosen Duty Cylce will then show up in Details Panel as shown below.
