IMPORTANT
Follow all screen instructions while performing tests.
Different toolbar controls are used depending on the functional test. Some tests use
a Test icon to switch actuators on/off, and some require variable controls selection
to increase and decrease a testing value.
Some tests provide a Data List icon, which allows you to change which
data displays.
Toggle and variable control tests often display functional test controls on
the toolbar at the top of the screen with PID data in the main body.
