+Some test plans need to use different values for different users/threads. 
+For example, you might want to test a sequence that requires a unique login for each user.
+This is easy to achieve with the facilities provided by JMeter.
+</p>
+<p>For example:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Create a text file containing the user names and passwords, separated by commas.
+Put this in the same directory as your test plan.
+</li>
+<li>
+Add a CSV DataSet configuration element to the test plan.
+Name the variables USER and PASS.
+</li>
+<li>
+Replace the login name with ${USER} and the password with ${PASS} on the appropriate
+samplers
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The CSV Data Set element will read a new line for each thread.
