Working with the Results of a Search
Thickness measurements identified in the search can then
be accessed just as thickness measurements in any data
file. Follow the steps explained in Section 5.2.2 of this
manual to navigate within the subset of data points identified
as a result of the search. This subset of data points can be
included in a report (Chapter 6) or accessed in Test Mode. If
for instance you wish to return to the TEST Mode to fill-in the
searched-for OBST spaces in a data file, simply press
(do not quit the Search Mode) to activate the TEST Mode.
The active thickness reading will be the first data point
identified in your search. When this file position is “filled” with
a thickness measurement, the Auto-Advance feature will
make active the next data point located in the search (rather
than the point which is physically next to the first active data
point).
5.2.5
Automatic Advance Features
When operating in the TEST, TG, or File Navigation Modes, a
thickness measurement is stored in the active data file location
by pressing
. Then, the instrument typically advances
automatically, making the next point in the data file active.
The AUTO-ADVANCE feature can be modified to suit specific
measurement applications. For instance, when recording
measurements into a large GRID type file, the physical mea-
surement site may dictate that it’s best to advance by column.
This means the active data point would automatically move
horizontally across the file NAV window, and all the way
through the last column before moving down to the next point
or row in the file. This is illustrated in Figure 5-8. Note that while
this example involves a Grid file-type, the Auto-Advance
feature applies to all file types.
Once the AUTO-ADVANCE feature has moved through a
column of data, it will then move on the next column or point,
for instance, and move through all of the rows in that column of
data. If AUTO REVERSE is turned ON, when data is recorded
in the last row, the next position will be at the last position of the
next column. If AUTO REVERSE is OFF (the default position)
the next position will be at the first position of the next column.
Again, these movements are illustrated in Figure 5-8.
