DESCRIPTION
Final point of each cycle
(radio button selection)
GFS Tools
provides the capability to repeat test points using the
Run
Toolbar
,
[Back]
icon. However, if a test ends automatically after the last point, there is no
opportunity to repeat points when the last point has completed. This option
determines whether a pause to allow points to be repeated after the last point is
complete or automatically end the test without pause.
There are three choices:
Enable repeat for fixed time delay
After the last test point is complete, the test pauses for a
fixed time delay. During the delay, the
Run
Toolbar
,
[Back]
icon remains active allowing points to be repeated.
This choice gives the possibility of repeating points after the
last point is complete but also causes the test to eventually
continue automatically without operator intervention.
Prompt to repeat
Systematically pauses the test at the end of each test cycle
and prompts the user to indicate whether the last test point
should be repeated. This selection guarantees that the
operator will consider whether to repeat points but it also
prevents the test from completing automatically.
No repeat option
The test concludes automatically after the last point. There
is no opportunity to repeat points after the last point is
complete. Use this choice to prevent any delays or
interruptions in the test sequence.
Auto generate report after
complete tests
(check box)
Check this option to automatically create a report when a test completes. The
report is generated using the last report template used. The
<Test Complete>
options still display at the end of the test.
Prompt for test notes at the
end of the test
(check box)
If checked,
GFS Tools
always prompts for test notes to be entered at the end of
the test. The test notes prompt does not interfere with unattended tests. The
prompt occurs after all test data is collected and the flow is set to 0.
Uncheck this option to avoid the test notes prompt. In this case, no test notes
can be included in the test’s Data File.
