Quick Reference Guide Basic settings Settings of the test instrument Select the "Test instrument" submenu from the "View" menu.The following window appears: The communication parameters and the type of data transmission are set by the selection in the "Type" field. Settings of the controller Select the "Controller" submenu from the "View" menu.The following window appears: Settings of the test instrument 1) Click on the "New" button to create a new test instrument.
Quick Reference Guide Basic settings The "Controller code" field must absolutely be filled out for Fluke DMS 0702/PAT! The controller code must be unequivocal, no duplicate numbers may occur, so that the automatic assignment of the tests to the individual controllers can be made. If duplicate numbers are present, you are notified by a corresponding message after the entry. After the entry your window should look as follows: The "Controller code" field has no function in the Fluke DMS 0100/INST software.
Quick Reference Guide Example for Fluke DMS 0702/PAT Example for Fluke DMS 0702/PAT The address fields 1 to 4 are printed on the test report as data on the UUT. Therefore these fields should be completed. In this example it is shown how data records are created, measurement data are read from the test instrument, the database is assigned and reports are printed. However, the Fluke DMS software is also able to create all data records independently and to assign the measurement data.
Quick Reference Guide Example for Fluke DMS 0702/PAT Creating data record for department Creating data record for UUT 1) Now change to the "Department" window.
