Starting a test
The
Drop Jump
test should still be selected after you return
from the
Test Parameter Editor
so just select the
Start Test
ac-
tion and tap the
Do Action
button to start the test. This enters
the
Test Subject Selector
view as shown in Figure 21. If the
subject birth date, height or weight is not valid at this stage,
Powertimer will view an error and enter the
Edit Subject
dia-
log. Subject editing is explained in chapter 6.2.
From the
Test Subject Selector
view, select the
Edit Test
action
and tap the
Do Action
button. This enters the
Test Parameter
Editor
that has similar layout as the previous editor. However,
in this case the changes will affect only the currently running
test. To demonstrate this, change the
Jump Count
parameter to
6 and tap
Exit
to save changes and return to the
Test Subject
Selector
. Tapping on
Save & Exit
ends the current test and re-
turns you to the
Test Manager
. When you restart the test by se-
lecting
Start Test
and tapping
Do Action
the
Jump Count
pa-
rameter is back to 5, since that is the value of the
Global Drop
Jump Count
parameter.
After the parameters have been correctly set, select a subject
for testing from the
Subject
selector, select the
Start Test
action
and tap the
Do
Action
button. Before you do that, make sure
that the
Powertimer Measurement Unit
is turned on and the se-
rial cable between
Powertimer SW-300
and the
Measurement
Unit
is properly attached. The Palm emits a beep when the ca-
ble is attached.

3.3 Testing
When the test is started, a connection to the
Measurement
Unit
is attempted. While the connection attempt is in progress,
a splash screen shown in Figure 22 will be visible on the
screen. If the connection is established successfully, the
Meas-
urement Unit
will emit a beep and the splash screen will dis-
appear from the Palm screen. If the connection cannot be es-
tablished within a specified timeout, an error message will be
shown and the
Powertimer SW-300
returns to the
Test Subject
Selector
view.
Creating results
When the
Drop Jump
test is started, the
Drop height
parame-
ter for the first jump needs to be selected before connection
to
Measurement Unit
has been established. The
Drop Height
parameter that was set as
Test Parameter
is shown and tap-
ping on the
OK
button accepts the shown value and establish-
es a connection to
Measurement Unit
If you want to change
the height at later time, select the
Change Drop Height
action
from the action selector and tap the
Do Action
button. Figure
23 shows the
Drop Height
selector.
