Menu Options

File

Load Test Configuration

A test configuration that has been previously saved to disk can be loaded using this menu option. The loaded configuration will set all the parameters available in the ‘test duty cycles’ and ‘test preferences’ windows (see above) to the values contained within the file. Using this menu option in conjunction with the ‘Save Config as’ function it is possible to create a number of standard test configurations. See section 0, Maintaining multiple test configurations, for more information.

Save Test Configuration

This option allows the current configuration settings to be stored in a file for later use. All the values available in the ‘test duty cycles’ and ‘test preferences’ windows (see above) will be saved into a file, whose name is selected by the user. Using this menu option in conjunction with the ‘Load config’ function it is possible to create a number of standard test configurations. See section 0, Maintaining multiple test configurations, for more information. Saved configuration files can also be loaded automatically by including them on the command line.

Displays the report information window, which allows general report information such as the machine type, serial number, customer name and technician's name to be entered. See this section for more information.

Edit Error Classifications

Opens the error classification file default text edition to allow errors to be re-categorized and the descriptions changed.

Test

Start Test Run

Runs the tests selected in the ‘Test duty cycles’ window. Each test will be run in it’s own window using it’s own execution thread. This allows multiple tests to be executed simultaneously. The results from each test are summarized in the main window. Depending on what tests are being started, the speed of the machine and the selected duty cycles; the tests may take several seconds to start.

After tests have been started the menu’s and buttons are ‘Greyed’ out, and no another actions can take place until the tests are stopped manually or automatically.

Stop Test Run

Stops all the tests that are currently running. It may take several seconds to stop all the tests, remove test files from the disk and de-allocate system resources. If one of the test windows is the active window, Alt-F4 can also be used to stop all the tests. Individual tests cannot be stopped after they have been started, as all tests will be stopped at the same time.

Execute Script

Load a script file to execute, see scripting for more information.
