Figure 27 - Project settings with sample projects
In this screen, you can select from existing projects or create a new project and make
project-specific settings. Here you can enter the customer name and location of the
project and define the format in which the tests are to be output.
The above screen shows the currently open project from the list on the left. The details
of the open project, customer and location data, are also displayed.
There are several buttons that allow you to create new projects, save changes to the
detailed information and load projects via the file manager menu.
Selecting
New Project
opens a new window in which you can enter the name and location
for the current project. With
Save Project
, you can save changed project details. The
existing project name is retained. Using
Save as Project
makes it possible to save an
existing project under a new name, for example after adjusting detailed information.
Load Project
lets the user load an already saved project in the NetXpert XG2.
Internal documentation creation is controlled in the lower part of the screen. The device
always stores its test results in its own TST format. These can be converted into an
externally readable format during or after completion of the test series by selecting an
available format type. You can choose from a variety of formats. On the one hand, there
is a PDF summary in which one result row is displayed per test run. Or there is also a
detailed PDF report which contains one or multiple summary pages, followed by
detailed test results.
On the other hand, there is a CSV file as an open format for further processing of the results, e.g. in
MS Excel. The creation of the respective format is started via
Export Report(s)
and confirmed after completion.
Even if nothing has been selected in this window, the tests remain stored on the
device in TST format and can be called up at any time.
