OPERATION
SECTION 6
asterisk (**) on the printout, indicating an immedi-
ate overflow condition (i.e., the results counter
overflowed during the last second). Subsequent
printouts of the overflowed result are preceded by
a single asterisk (*) to indicate a previous overflow
condition. All asterisks are cleared at test restart.
Printer Squelch Control
When 20 or more printouts are generated in 60
seconds, the printer squelch is turned on to tempo-
rarily halt the printouts. The squelched printouts
include alarm, error, and severely errored second
conditions that occur during a test. The twentieth
printout indicates the squelch is turned on by printing
the time-stamped message PRINTER SQUELCH
ON. When the printouts drop to five or less in 60
seconds, the time-stamped message PRINTER
SQUELCH OFF is printed and a squelch summary
results printout (SQUELCH OFF PRINT) is gener-
ated. The squelch summary printout provides the
cumulative results when the squelch was turned off.
The printer squelch does not affect messages indicat-
ing the squelch state, timed print requests, manual
print requests, or the TEST COMPLETE message.
The printer squelch is reset when a restart occurs or
at the end of a timed test.
