Jobs
SignalTEK NT provides a system that enables the storage and organization of test results and
statistics. Test results can be made into reports and can be exported via a USB key or
downloaded by a Wi-Fi connected smartphone.
The two elements of this storage and organization system are Jobs and Results. A Job is a
named repository for a collection of Results. A Result is a group of test results. It may contain
the saved results of one or several tests. Therefore, a Job may be understood as a folder, a
Result as the file(s) held within that folder. SignalTEK NT can store up to 5000 results divided
among up to 50 Jobs.
At any time, one Job is always ‘active’. Any existing Job can be activated, at any time, via the
menu on the Jobs Options screen. The currently active Job is indicated in the display’s
information bar.
Test results are saved by pressing the soft key SAVE (F2). The Save Result screen is
displayed. From here you may choose which Job to save the test(s) to and the prefix and
serial number of the Result. If you do not choose, SignalTEK NT defaults to the active Job and
assigns the next serial number.
The structure in which Jobs, Results and test results are stored is shown in Fig 53.
