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.
