Customizing Testing

Changing Test Execution Conditions

Test Execution Conditions define how your testing program starts and

where and when test output occurs. You may decide to:

• Start the program automatically when the Test System is powered on. (Autostart)

• Stop testing when a measurement fails or continue through all of the tests without

stopping. (On UUT Failure)

• Display (or print) only measurements that fail, or display (or print) all measurements

that pass or fail. (Output Results)

• Pause between each measurement, or run through the entire test sequence. (Run

Mode)

• Display output on CRT only, or display on CRT and print hardcopy. (Output

Destination)

NOTE: If printing test results is desired, after selecting Printer additional steps are necessary to

connect and configure the printer. See "Printing," in chapter 5, on page 212.

• Enter a title for an output heading for the displayed or printed results. (Output

Heading). Select the field with the knob and enter the output heading by selecting the

appropriate letters and the select Done.

Test Execution Conditions

is located on the TESTS screen. Press TESTS to

display them. To change a default setting, position the cursor to the desired field.

Pressing the knob (”selecting”) will toggle the underlined selection.

Test Execution Conditions settings (except for Autostart) are not

retained after a power-down/ power-up cycle, and will return to their default

settings. They are not stored on the memory card when a test procedure is saved.
