10.3 General Settings (Setup: auto measurements parameter)
The following settings can be entered for all test sequences in the
SETUP switch position on menu page 1/3 under the auto measure-
ments parameter (see section 4.3):
Automatic Measurements (1/3)
❑
At the End of the Sequence
At the end of a sequence, either the save symbol appears in
order to prompt storage (“memory screen” parameter), or the
results list (“results list” parameter) is displayed.
❑
Considering Measuring Uncertainty
If Yes is selected, measuring uncertainty is taken into consider-
ation when the measurement results are displayed. The final
result which appears at the display is downgraded by an
amount equal to measuring uncertainty.
❑
Auto Measuring Point
If Yes is selected, the test instrument detects whether or not
the protective conductor is contacted with the probe during
the protective conductor resistance measurement of an auto-
matic test sequence and automatically starts recording a new
measuring point. Statuses are indicated by various, continu-
ous acoustic signals. The protective conductor test can thus
be conducted without using the keys on the instrument.
Note
The “Auto Measuring Point” function is only activated
during test steps of the “multiple measurement” type.
If you want to use this function ...
– in the case of integrated test sequences: Make sure
that the “multiple measurement” test parameter
(see page 54) is selected for the RPE test step.
– in the case of user-defined test sequences (only with
database extension, feature KB01, “Z853R –
SECUTEST DB+”): make sure that the RPE test step
has been entered to the sequence as a “multiple
measurement”.
Automatic Measurements (2/3)
❑
Initial Window Style
Selection can be made here between a tree view and a detail
view for the first page of the test sequence (see section 10.4).
❑
Limit Value Mode
If you want to use only the limit values specified in the stan-
dards to evaluate the measurements, set the parameter to
Normal .
When set to Expert , the LIMIT softkey appears next to the
“measurement failed” popup if the measurement has not been
passed. This key makes it possible to enter a user-defined
limit value (as a rule a limit value specified by the manufacturer
which deviates from the standard), in order to allow the test to
be passed under these new conditions.
Note
Entry of a user defined limit value isn’t possible if “Con-
tinue” is selected for the “Limit Violation” option.
❑
Limit Value Violation (only with feature KD01, “Z853S – SECUTEST
DB COMFORT” )
With its “ Try Again ” operating mode, the test instrument makes
it possible to immediately restart the failed test step and
repeat the measurement in the event that a limit value is vio-
lated.
In the “
Continue ” mode, the test instrument doesn’t terminate
the test sequence in the event of a limit value of violation, and
instead continues testing despite any individual steps which
have failed.
Note
If a limit value violation occurs during the test sequence,
the respective test step designation appears in red in the
header for all following test steps, so that it’s already
made apparent during the test sequence that a limit value
violation has occurred during one of the previous test
steps, and that the device under test will not pass testing.
Automatic Measurements (3/3)
❑
Measuring Sequences
The following standards can be selected here:
VDE, OVE (Dutch version: NEN)
The instrument is restarted if the setting for “Measuring
Sequences” has been changed and the “Auto Measurements”
menu is exited.
Note
The test instrument must be restarted after changing the
measuring sequences.
Database structure and content remain unchanged.
❑
Autostore (feature KD01, “Z853S – SECUTEST DB COMFORT”)
If this function is activated (“on”), the test results for the automatic
test sequence are immediately saved under the test object (=
device or ME equipment (
m edical e lectrical equipment)) which is
currently selected in the database.
If you haven’t yet selected a test object in memory management
(MEM key), a message appears informing you that automatic
storage of the current test isn’t possible.
You’re prompted to enter an object ID via the scanner or the soft-
keys, or to select one from the database (MEM key). In this case
you have to save the test manually to the database via the “Save”
softkey.
❑
Skip steps
Here you can configure whether or not the user is allowed to skip
test steps
during a test sequence (“on”).
This does not apply to inspection test steps that can be omitted
(which have no relevance with regard to the standard)!
