Once 1 or more tool tests are sent to the PTT meter the operator can press the "Tool Test" soft key on the PTT and
following Menu choices will appear:
Select
Start
Stop
Clear Memory
Choose the function desired, from the menu list, by using the
Up /Down
keys and use
Enter
key to finalize the selection
highlighted in reverse video.
Select
is used to select the desired test from a list of tests that have been downloaded. When an operator selects this
he/she will view an introduction for 3 seconds that provide directions, and then this will display:
Choose Tool Test from List of available tests.
Use
Up /Down
keys to toggle between tests.
Use
Enter
to select test.
After the short introduction the operator will see the tool tests displayed and can select the desired test.
Start
begins collecting test data. The tool name will be followed by a colon and then the number of data points collected.
Stop
ends the test. This is required as some users may want to collect 10 data or others may want to collect 25 points
or more.
Clear Memory
allows the test points to be cleared
in the meter itself. The operator will be asked for
confirmation before the action takes place. This
function should only be used if the readings have
been downloaded to the PC or test data is invalid
for some reason.
Once all desired tests are run the operator can
return to the PC to download all Tool Tests stored
in the PTT. During a particular test download the
operator will be given the opportunity to add
further notes to the file stored on the PC.
An example of one Tool Test Result file is shown
on the right.
There is an optional Excel Add-In included on the
PTT CD to perform statistical analysis on the data
from the tool test. It is located in the folder Optional
Excel Statistics Add-In. Follow the instructions in the
readme file, in this folder, to use this Add-In.
