MAIN TOOLBAR
The Main Toolbar in
GFS Tools
is used as a shortcut to many menu options and is used to
control test execution. The options that are visible and enabled on the toolbar vary with the
active run mode. There are four distinct sections of the toolbar. Each of these sections is
described in the following tables.

DESCRIPTION
Run Test
This feature is a shortcut to the Main Toolbar
[Run]
menu choice. When
selected for the first time it will initiate the
[Run Test]
mode. If selected after
another type of test has been run it will run that same test again. When
GFS
Tools
is running a test, this option is disabled.
Step Back
Causes the current test point to be interrupted and the test point sequence to
step back to the most recent target output step. Subsequent clicks cause the
test to step back one point for each click. This feature is used to repeat points
when needed in
[Run Test]
mode. Not functional with Manual tests as they
do not have a defined point sequence to skip through.
Step Back does not step back through pre-test operations such as the leak
test or pre test delay.
Step Forward
Causes the current test point to be interrupted and the test point sequence to
step forward to the next step in a point sequence. This feature only moves
forward up to the take data step of the highest point executed. The limitation
is to ensure that data is logged at each point and points are not skipped
entirely. Most often this feature is used to skip through the test dwell step or
to move on to the next accumulation or flow point before the active
accumulation is complete.
Pause
Suspends test execution and remote communications with all devices being
used by
GFS Tools
. Use this feature to allow front panel access to a device
while running a test. Click
[Pause]
again to resume operation.
Abort
Causes the
<Abort Test>
confirmation pop-up to appear to abort the test that
is running.
5.1.4.2
RUN DISPLAY TOOLS
Run Display Tools provide toolbar features that relate to
GFS Tools
run screens.
Each of the toolbar icons forces the corresponding run screen to the top of the
display. Run display tools are available based on the current run mode and the
data acquisition state of an active test.
