Extensions (enabling functions/feature)
Extensions can be purchased for test instruments. An extension is
a package of several helpful functions.*
Amongst others, for example, the SECUTEST DB COMFORT
(Z853S) extension includes database extensions (medical data-
base objects, shifting of objects etc.), as well as functions such as
auto-store, push-print and the “Continue/abort/restart test
sequence despite limit violation” option.
The extension must be purchased and then enabled at the test
instrument. Which enabling functions are available can be viewed
at the instrument.
