Configuring Test Sequence Parameters
Measurement parameters are also configured at the PC. How-
ever, parameters can be changed at the test instrument during
the test sequence before the respective measurement is started.
Selecting and Starting a Test Sequence at the Test Instrument
The selected test sequence (SEQU.1 in this case) is started with the
ON/START ▼ key.
When a test step of the measurement type is executed, the same
screen layout appears as is also the case for individual measure-
ments. The current test step number appears in the header
instead of the memory and battery icons. After pressing the Save
key twice, the next test step is displayed.
Setting Parameters and Limit Values
Parameters and limit values can also be changed while a test
sequence is running or before the respective measurement is
started. The respective change only affects the active test
sequence and is not saved.
Skipping Test Steps
There are two ways to skip test steps or individual measurements:
• Select the test sequence, change to the test step column at
the right with the help of the cursor, select the x
th
test step
and press the ON/START ▼ key.
• The navigation menu can be
opened within the test sequence
by pressing the navigation key
(cursor left-right). Jumping to the
next or the previous test step is
possible using the separate scroll
keys which then appear.
The navigation menu can be exited again and the current test
step can be displayed by pressing the ESC key.
Aborting or Ending a Test Sequence
An active sequence can be aborted by pressing the ESC key and
then acknowledging.
Sequence Ended appears after the last test step is completed. The
initial menu, List of Test Sequences, is once again displayed after
acknowledging the prompt.
