Figure 44. Schedule Setup.
The test schedule automatically controls the test duration and imitates human
operation. Multiple testing schedules can be developed and one is executed at a
time. A testing schedule event can include the following events: Loop/End-Loop,
Run Duration, Hold, Limit Check on, Limit Check off, Start Recording, Stop
Recording, Save Signals, Turn Signal Source On, Turn Signal Source Off, Reset
Average, Set All Input Mode, Activate/Deactivate Timer to Save/Stop Saving, and
Wait for One Time.
Activating the testing schedule requires an extra step. This is designed to ensure
the test schedule does not start inadvertently. To activate the testing schedule go
to the main signal display window and press the Display button for 3 seconds,
then release. This will activate the test schedule. After the test schedule is
activated, all the buttons, except the power button, F5 and F6, will be deactivated
because the test is in the automatic mode.
To exit the automated schedule, press Exit (F6). To redo the schedule, press
Redo (F5).

Using schedule allows the instrument to divide the total measurement into
multiple files, making it is easier to retrieve and analyze. The picture above shows
a typical schedule with loop/end loop functions. It allows the instrument to run
on standby for 1 minute, record for 1 min, then save the spectral data. This is
repeated 10 times.
