Test Sequences (automatic test sequences)
A test sequence is a series of semi-automatic tests or test steps.
If the same sequence of individual tests will be run frequently (one
after the other with subsequent report generation), for example as
specified in the standards, it’s advisable to make use of such test
sequences.
The test instrument includes two types of test sequences:
•
Integrated Test Sequences
Available ex works or after enabling at the test instrument.
Cannot be changed (test parameters are configurable).
Attention!
!
The integrated test sequences do not include all of the
tests stipulated by the product standard which are re-
quired for type testing! They’re restricted to the tests
which are required as a rule after repair or during mainte-
nance work and for occupational health and safety mea-
sures, as well as for quality assurance in production.
•
User-Defined Test Sequences
Created individually by the user with IZYTRONIQ software and
transferred to the test instrument.
(This function is available depending on test instrument model
or features.)
All test sequences are run in orange rotary switch positions A1
through A9. Each of the rotary switch positions is preconfigured
at the factory with integrated test sequences, but they can be
adapted to suit your needs, i.e. integrated and user-defined test
sequences can be subsequently assigned to the various rotary
switch positions as required.
We recommend assigning frequently used test sequences to
rotary switch positions A1 through A8, and running special
sequences for which parameters often need to be adjusted in the
A9 position.
The measurements included in the test sequences are evaluated
– either automatically by the test instrument (in the case of limit
values) or manually by the user (e.g. visual inspection). Automatic
evaluation by the test Instrument is based on the worst-case and,
depending on settings, in consideration of measuring uncertainty.
Note
The user selects standard designations (national designa-
tions) for the integrated test sequences during initial config-
uration. If the designations need to be changed, follow the
instructions in section 8.2, “Test Standards / Configuration
of Integrated Test Sequences” on page 20 once again.
Please note that designations cannot be changed retroac-
tively (standard designations in previously saved tests can-
not be changed).
Proceed as follows for test sequences.
First of all, prepare the test sequences and adapt them to your
needs. Settings are made at two points in the test instrument to
this end:
1 Enter general settings which apply to all test sequences,
regardless of the respectively selected standard (
SETUP
rotary
switch position).
See section 17.1 “General Settings (Setup: Auto Measure-
ments parameter)”.
2 Configure the test sequences (rotary switch positions
A1
to
A9
)
as desired.
– Familiarize yourself with the menu and the user interface
(see section 17.2.1 “Test Sequence Menu: View and
Icons”).
– Set the classification and sequence parameters which apply
only to the respectively selected rotary switch position. See
section 17.2 “Configuring Test Sequences”.
– Depending on the test instrument model and its features,
you can also create your own user-defined test sequences
using IZYTRONIQ software and transfer them to the test
instrument.
See section 17.2.3.
Run the test sequence:
3 Connect the DUT (see section 17.3).
4 Select the test object from the database (see section 17.4).
5 The test instrument initializes connection type recognition.
Then start the test sequence (see section 17.5).
6 The individual test steps are now executed. Automatic evalua-
tion of the test steps is conducted by the test instrument and
manual evaluation is conducted by the user (see section
17.6).
7 The test sequence is ended. You can display the individual
test steps and results (see section 17.7).
8 You can save the results (see section 17.8).
