he/she will view an introduction for 3 seconds that provide directions, and then this will display:

Use

Quick Test:
By selecting Quick Test the operator can run a quick test using the currently selected parameters of the
meter such as Mode, Units, and Tolerance etc. After selecting Quick Test, Press the Enter key. The test starts immediate-
ly and the operator can start collecting data. Once the operator collected the number of reading desired then press the
Tool Test "soft" button that now reads Quick Test. Then the operator can select Stop to end the test.
When the operator connects to the Interface Program and click on Download Results, the Quick Test data is down-
loaded. The file name will be Quick Test with associated Date and Time. If the operator performs several different Quick
Tests he/she will have different Time and/or Date files for each 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. If they choose to add comments they can do so by checking the
"Require Comments" check box. During a particular test download the
operator will be given the opportunity to add further notes to the file stored on
the PC.
