MERGES RESPONSES FROM DIFFERENT TESTS TO PROVIDE A COMBINED ONE¶
Merges responses from multiple physical tests into a single combined test record, with configurable time-offset alignment and ordering. Use this worker to consolidate repeated or complementary test runs into one unified response dataset for downstream analysis or reporting.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Choose Physicaltests | pt_ids | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | One or more physical-test IDs to merge; select from the platform’s physical-test registry — at least two tests are required. |
| Order Tests By | order_tests_by | select | as_provided | ✓ | Sort order applied to the selected tests before merging; defaults to ‘as_provided’ to preserve the user-supplied sequence, or choose a creation-date or ID ordering. |
| Response Names | response_names | textarea | — | Newline- or comma-separated list of response channel names to include in the merge; leave blank to automatically use the intersection of channels common to all selected tests. | |
| Offset Calculation Type | offset_calculation_type | select | auto | ✓ | Method used to align time axes before appending: ‘auto’ detects offsets automatically, ‘manual’ uses the values in manual_offsets, ‘cross-correlation-lag’ computes lag via signal cross-correlation, and ‘no_offsets’ skips alignment entirely. |
| Manual Offsets | manual_offsets | textarea | — | Comma-separated numeric time-offset values (one per test, same units as the test time axis); the first test typically uses 0.0 — only active when offset_calculation_type is set to ‘manual’. | |
| Merge Type | merge_type | select | append | ✓ | Strategy for combining responses; currently only ‘append’ is supported, which concatenates response data sequentially along the time axis. |
| Destination Type | destination_type | select | create_new_test | ✓ | Specifies where the merged result is stored: ‘create_new_test’ writes to a new physical-test record, or ‘save_to_baseline’ overwrites responses in an existing baseline test. |
| New Test Name | new_test_name | text | Merged test<%DATE%> | Name assigned to the newly created merged test; supports the <%DATE%> token for automatic date stamping — only used when destination_type is ‘create_new_test’. | |
| Use Sample Tests | use_sample_tests | select | no | ✓ | When set to ‘yes’, the worker generates internal synthetic tests for merge validation/testing; leave at the default ‘no’ for production use with real test data. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offsets Info | offsets_info | dataset | Tabular dataset reporting the computed or applied time-offset value for each input test, useful for auditing alignment decisions (columns: test ID, offset value, method used). |
