ES601 Plus OPERATING MANUAL
Buttons provided on the TEST RECORDS menu are:
ERASE MEMORY:
This button accesses a menu for erasing the record which is currently
selected on the TEST RECORDS menu, or all of the records stored
in memory. The
ERASE MODE
button on this menu allows the
user to toggle between the currently-selected record or “ERASE ALL
RECORDS”. An
ESCAPE
button allows you to return to the
TEST RECORDS menu.
Erasing the last record stored in memory, or all records in memory, is
completed instantly and places no stress on the internal Data Flash of
ES601
Plus
. But, if there are a large number of records stored in the
memory, selecting and erasing a record stored near the beginning of
the memory requires a few seconds to complete as the deleted record
is removed, and the remaining records are then reorganized to create
free memory space. Such erasing should be done sparingly as
reorganizing a large number of stored records places some stress on
the Data Flash memory.
ES601
Plus
monitors flash memory erase stress, and to prevent loss
of retained data, will prevent you from erasing individual records one
at a time once a maximum stress level has been reached. Once
maximum erase stress is reached, you will then only be able to erase
all records currently stored in the memory. When all records are
erased, the flash memory will then be reset, refreshed, and ready to
begin storing new data.
Note the Data Flash memory is stressed only by erasing single
records on an individual basis, not by saving records during testing or
by erasing all records in memory.
SEARCH MEMORY:
Activates the QWERTY touch keypad to allow entry of the
DEVICE ID number.
If the Data Flash contains a record for the Device ID entered, the
Test Record will be displayed. If more than one record exists for a
recognized Device ID, only the earliest Test record will be displayed.
If the Device ID is not found, “TEST RECORD NOT FOUND IN
MEMORY” is displayed momentarily, and the display returns to the
TEST RECORDS menu. The search will only locate exact matches
to what is entered via the QWERTY keypad.
