8.2 Measurement Series and Storage

Single measurements can be combined into measurement series.

The measured values can be saved by pressing the save key, or

measurement series can be generated. These can be saved to a

DUT (ID number) which has already been set up in the database

(see section 5.4.1). The appearance of the save key changes

depending on meaning.

Measuring Sequence with Pre-Selection of the DUT

1 Activate the database view (MEM navigation) by pressing the

MEM key.

2 Select the DUT or its ID number for the following measure-

ments with the scroll keys.

3 Return to the measuring view by pressing the MEM key or

the START/STOP key.

4 Start the test with the START/STOP key.

The symbol shown at the right appears and the zero

indicates that no measurements have yet been

recorded or saved to buffer memory.

5 Each time the key at the right is pressed, the respec-

tively current measured value is saved to buffer mem-

ory and the number shown in the symbol is increased.

In this way, you always know how many measurements have

already been recorded.

6 Stop the measurement by pressing the START/STOP

key, unless a specified measuring time has been stipu-

lated.

The Save as symbol appears (floppy disk icon with the

number of measured values saved to the clipboard).

7 If you press the save symbol now (floppy disk), the dis-

play is switched to the DUT in the database view for checking.

8 After pressing the save symbol once again, acknowledgement

of successful storage appears.

At the same time, the display is switched to the measuring

view.

Measuring Sequence with Subsequent Entry of the DUT

1 Start the measurement by pressing the START/STOP but-

ton.

The symbol shown at the right appears and indicates

how many measurements have already been performed.

2 Stop the measurement by pressing the START/STOP

key, unless a specified measuring time has been stip-

ulated.

The save symbol (floppy disk with a number 1)

appears and indicates that one valid measured value has

been recorded, which can now be saved.

3 Press the save symbol (floppy disk).

4 You are informed that you haven’t selected a DUT in

the database.

5 There are two ways to subsequently select a DUT

using an ID number which has already been set up in

the database:

– Select the ID number with a barcode scanner

– Enter an ID number by pressing the ID key.

6 The cursor jumps to the location of the DUT with the selected

ID number. You only need to acknowledge this position by

pressing the green checkmark.

7 Press the save symbol (floppy disk).

A message appears indicating that the data have been suc-

cessfully saved and the display is switched to the measuring

view.

Note

If the entered number cannot be found in the database

(because it hasn’t been set up), it can be entered imme-

diately by pressing Yes when the prompt appears.

However, the storage location cannot be selected in this

case. The measurement is saved to the most recently

selected hierarchy.

Note

Measurements and measurement series can only be

saved after measurement has been completed. Mea-

sured values can only be added to intermediate buffer

memory during a measurement. Customer, location and

other entries cannot be changed in the memory menu.

These have to be selected directly in the database and

entered or changed.

and the number is increased by one.

The ID number to which the measurement(s) will be stored

can be entered here.

Valid measured values have been obtained for a measure-
