Procedures
Securing a Procedure
After you have set up your test software with a testing order, channel information,
test parameters, and pass/fail limits, you may wish to secure it. This operation will
prevent the viewing and changing of those functions. You can select the items you
wish to secure or un-secure. An IBASIC ROM program is stored in the Test Set’s
firmware to do this.
You can secure the procedure that is supplied with the test software. It is shipped
un-secured.
After you make a procedure, you can secure it.
To secure a
Procedure:
1. Press TESTS.
2. Position the cursor to the Select Procedure Location (or Location) field
and select it.

8 Proceed with the on-line instructions. You may wish to secure only one of the items,
such as pass/fail limits.

0 through 9 using the DATA keypad. Enter 9 digits or less.
