> PlayValue Commands

  eValid allows a tester to modify an eValid playback script,
  through the use of extrinsic [edited in] "PlayValue" commands, to
  override some of the preferences set in eValid.

  Over a dozen key playback parameters can be specified using the
  PlayValue command.

  Here is an example script that illustrates use of some of the
  PlayValue commands:
