2201 ProLock

2261 Autotest

Option

The Autotest option allows for complete automated tests without 
a separate PC, but with similar ease of use as 7310 Lector-
Scriptor. The same scripts can be used for Lector and for Autotest 
on the ProLock. 7315 Scriptor can be used as an administration 
tool for the Autotest Option. Scriptor offers the possibility to 
transfer data to the ProLock and to generate and group test 
scripts with it.

The ProLock with the Autotest option includes different test 
scripts, both generic as well as manufacturer-specific ones. The 
latter are designed according to the test procedures defined by 
leading handset vendors (Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC, 
RIM and more). Semi-skilled personnel can easily run tests and 
interpret the clear Pass or Fail verdict.
