7.6.2 View Previous Tests
Tests that have been completed and automatically archived during the Post Test procedure are known in
the system as Previous Tests. The test data, along with the supporting information on test specifications,
calibration, etc., are archived on the computer hard drive in a subdirectory reserved for that purpose.
The default name for this subdirectory is Tests.
NOTE: There are two different subdirectories that hold test data. One holds data for completed tests, and
the other holds data for tests that are currently running. See 7.6.5 for information on how to properly
locate data.
To view a completed test:
1. Select View from the main menu, then Previous Tests. The Select Archived Test to View screen will
appear.
2. Use the Directory pull-down menu to select Tests.
3. Use the File menu to select the appropriate specimen name from the list of archived tests.
NOTE: There are two special cases where tests are neither complete nor currently running on a frame,
yet the test records are stored in the subdirectory. One is a test that has been cleared from a frame
before the Post Test process was completed (found in the Post Test Queue). The other case is a test that
has stopped but will resume later (found in the Continue Test Queue). To access these records, go to the
Post Test Queue or the Continue Test Queue by choosing from the Directory drop-down menu.
