The screen will then present test results (unless a test has been fired without parameters). Also presented is

whole. Further training can be provided for a deeper understanding of this feedback.

History and back-up
This menu can be used to back-up and export testing data (in either .pat or .csv format depending on Pulse
model and software version being used) to a USB stick, delete testing data, re-run tests, or show historic results.
Whilst the memory capacity of the Pulse system is significant and can support upward of 150,000 tests, we
recommend as a general rule that a back-up of all test results is made at the end of each day’s testing by
exporting your tests to a USB stick. This will minimise the risk of tests being accidently deleted or being corrupted
should there be any issues with the unit software.
NOTE: it is strongly advised that a freshly formatted USB stick that has been scanned by reputable virus and
malware protection software is used in order to minimise the risk of corrupting the Pulse operating system.
