4.1 Executing a Free Test
The free mode is active only if enabled in the STwrench Settings.
The free test allows a test (tightening operation or quality control test) to be conducted simply by
accessing the wrench from the keyboard, with no need to program the wrench using ToolsTalk BLM.
NOTE: In this mode the results are not saved in the wrench memory and are not transferred to
any remote device.
Moreover, in the free mode, the RFID TAG of the end-fitting tool is not read; this means that
the torque and angle correction coefficients, possibly set for a wrench extension, have not been
considered.
To conduct a free test, select Free Mode from the main menu:
Select the desired operation and click on the OK button on the wrench keyboard to start the test.
