7.3 Specimens
The specimen is the object to be tested. To perform the tests, the system must have a specimen identity
to use in testing and data collection.
7.3.1 Specimen Creation
Any number of specimens can be created at one time. It is not necessary to start the test immediately
after the creation process. To create a specimen:
1. Select Specimens, then Create. The Specimen Name screen should appear.
2. Enter the name of the specimen and click Next.
NOTE: Each specimen name must be unique and cannot be used for any other test.
3. Use the pull-down menu to select the Test Specification and the Test Condition.
4. The remaining data field will show the details of the test parameters of the test specification
chosen. Check that these parameters are correct, and make any changes if necessary. Click Next.
NOTE: The test parameters in the specification can be changed at this time, and this specimen will be
tested according to the edited parameters. The test record will show the specification name with the
word “Modified” next to it; however, the test specification will not permanently be saved in the system.
