external emergency stop, propane concentration warning) are still fully 
functional. 

 

 

Note: 
If testo REXS is in locked mode, a dedicated timer watches over the 
communication. If the communication with the GUI fails, testo REXS switches 
back to unlocked mode and will shut down with an error. 

 
Click the start/stop REXS button and wait until testo REXS has started properly. After successul 
start-up, Testo 

REXS switches to „STBY“ mode, and „STBY“ is displayed on the testo REXS GUI 

display. 
Select the operating point by selecting one of the listed operating points. You also may use the 
UP/DOWN arrows beside the listbox 
 

 

Note: 
S

electing operating points different to „STBY“ is only enabled when testo REXS 

is in „RUN“ mode. For more information, refer to the testo REXS manual or quick 
guide. 

 
To shut down testo REXS, click the start/stop REXS button. Wait until testo REXS has shut down 
properly. 
 
To exit the testo REXS GUI, click exit. A message window is displayed. 
 

 

 

Fig. 7.4: Exit message window 

 

If you are exiting the software while testo REXS is still running, a window will appear and ask you 
how to proceed: 
• unlock testo REXS and exit the software: unlock testo REXS, if it is locked, do not switch to 
„STBY“ mode or shut down testo REXS, but quit the GUI. 
• shutdown testo REXS and exit the software: shutdown testo REXS and quit the GUI. 
• set testo REXS to standby mode: switch testo REXS to „STBY“ mode. The GUI will remain 
open and running. 
Click OK to confirm the selection, or click Cancel to go back to the GUI without changing the 
actual state.
