DESCRIPTION
Record Type
(required drop
down list
selection;
DUT Editor only)
There are three DUT Definition Record Types:
Individual
Intended for DUTs that are tested as specific, unique items. The DUT
serial number, identification or customer ID is included in the DUT
definition. This type of DUT does not require new entries during Test
Initialization.
Profile
Intended to define a general DUT type rather than identifying a
specific DUT. A common use of this option is for a type of analog
output flow meter. Unique serial number, identification and customer
ID values are not entered in the DUT Definition. Although range
information must be specified, the
<Min Final Output>
and
<Max
Final Output>
values can be altered during test initialization. This type
of DUT Definition requires the DUT to be identified during Test
Initialization.
Profile w/Range
Intended to define a general DUT type, including a specific range,
rather than identifying a specific DUT. It is useful when identical DUTs
are tested in groups. Instead of creating multiple DUTs all differing
only by serial number and/or identification, use a DUT profile w/Range.
Unique serial number, identification and customer ID values are not
entered in the DUT Definition. This type of DUT Definition requires that
the DUT be identified during Test Initialization. Range related
information cannot be edited during Test Initialization.
Manufacturer
(required drop
down list
selection)
Select a manufacturer from the drop down list box or enter a new manufacturer into the field.
Selecting a manufacturer from the list automatically updates k- factor
information when applicable. When entering a new manufacturer make sure that the
name is identical to what is entered in the Process Gas Editor.
The default Data File directory naming preference can use DUT
<Manufacturer>
as part of
the Data File directory structure.
Model
(required drop
down list
selection)
Select the
<Model>
from the drop down list or enter a
<Model>
into the field. The drop
down list of
<Models>
is based on the currently selected
<Manufacturer>
.
The default Data File directory naming preference can use DUT
<Model>
as part of the Data
File directory structure.
Auto Detect
Setup
(conditional check
box available for
device editors only
when the
<Manufacturer> is
DHI and the
<Model> is a
known DHI
product)
This feature is available for setups of
DHI
products. Checking this option allows
GFS Tools
to use built-in device monitoring and control features. Read and Set information is not
required. Do not check this box if you wish to manually define the remote setup of a DH
Instruments product.
DHI
products that use this feature display their output on Device Output Screens. Features
to control, monitor and change the state of the device are provided.
Checking this feature allows
GFS Tools
to send test initialization information to a device
when initializing a test. This includes setting channel and range information as well as
stability settings and units of measure.
Check this option to use all of the advanced features of a DHI product without
the need to specify remote commands.
Serial Number
(optional text
entry field)
Type in the device serial number. The field can contain any combination of characters and
numbers to represent a specific device. The value entered is included in the Test Data
Files and can be included in reports.
DUTs whose record type is
<Profile>
do not include a serial number in the DUT Editor.
Instead, the serial number can be entered during test initialization. The default Data File
directory naming preference can use the DUT
<Serial Number>
to create the data directory
for date files when running tests.
