[Data] Tab (see Section 9.5.9): Defines what data is collected during tests.
9.5.1 TOOLBAR
All fields above the display tab on the Test Definition Editor are considered part of the toolbar.
The toolbar not only identifies which test is active, but also provides tools to create, delete,
save, restore, identify and select tests.
Table 24 identifies the toolbar features and their functions.

FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Test record label
(required text
entry field)
This field is analogous to a file name. The text entered should make the test easily
distinguishable from other tests. Up to 40 characters can be used in the field.
Do not use the following characters: \,/, :, *, ?, “, <,>, |, a comma or tab character.
These characters will cause problems when importing the Data File or creating the Data
File directory based on the data directory naming convention selected using the [Tools],
[Options], [Data File] tab (see Section 11.8
).
Viewing Test
(label)
Identifies the current relative sort position of the test in the Editor. As the sort order
changes, this field also changes (see Section 9.4). The notation is “Current Test
Definition/Total number of Test Definitions”.
Editing Test
(label)
Identifies the sort identification of a test that is being edited. This field does not display
when no edits have been made. As the sort order changes, this field also changes
(see Section 9.4).
Save
(toolbar button)
Saves changes to an edited Test Definition. This field is not available when no edits have
been made. Any test conflicts result in error messages when saving. These conflicts
must be resolved before saving.
New
(toolbar button)
Creates a new Test Definition with default information (see Section 9.2).
Copy
(toolbar button)
Copies the contents of the current Test Definition to a new Test Definition. The <Record Label>
of the copied test includes the text “Copy”. This is the only difference between the original
Test Definition and the copy. Make sure the new Test Definition is properly updated
before saving.
