The Statistics panel at the bottom of the screen displays results from
each test. The statistics should be similar to those shown in
Figure 2-66.
Note the specific results to be displayed are determined by instructions
in the method. Take a few minutes to review the results for each test.

Second Batch Test
This part of the tutorial uses a default method and batch to perform a
series of tests on fused silica. The default method prescribes a test that
returns the Young’s modulus and hardness at a series of discrete loads.
The default batch prescribes a 2
x 5 array of these tests on a single
sample. For more information on the fundamental analysis used to
derive Young’s modulus and hardness from indentation data, consult
Chapter 7, "Theory".
1 Click the Test tab.
2 Click the icon for the Batch Mode. The default batch for the
instrument will automatically be loaded in the right panel.
3 Begin by clicking the Run Batch button.
4 In the resulting Review Sample Names dialog box, type in fused
silica
2 for the sample name. Click the OK button to continue.
5 In the Review the first test location of Sample dialog box, move the
sample to the correct location under the microscope. Right-click
anywhere in the video screen in the dialog box and select Nano
HandSet from the resulting pop-up menu.
