PARAMETER SETTING WINDOW 

The  main  menu  displays  a  button  for  every  type  of  test  that  can  be  performed  by  the  NSG  3150. 
Buttons for tests that are not available on the system as configured are greyed out. 

The user can set parameters for available tests and create new tests in the test parameter window. 

The next figure shows the test parameter window for burst tests. While the input fields differ for each 
type of test, the red side bar and bottom bar remain the same.
