SECTION
Average and log
points at fixed
intervals
When running a Manual Test, if a data file has been created, averages all
device outputs and logs the results at fixed time intervals. When the icon is
pressed the <Average Setup> window displays to allow entry of the
averaging time and the interval between averages. After the entry, data
automatically begins averaging. When the average is complete, the results
are logged and the countdown to the next average begins. When the time
specified as the <Timed Point Interval(s)> has been reached, another
averaging cycle begins. This process is repeated until the [Abort Data
Acquisition] button is pressed or the run mode is closed. Taking data in this
way can be convenient when trying to mimic a test that includes multiple
readings per point.
Taking data at short time intervals can quickly result in a very large Data
File.
Press the [Abort Data Acquisition] option to abort fixed interval data
acquisition.

Abort data
acquisition
When running a Manual Test that is logging date, press this icon to abort
data acquisition at fixed intervals or a point currently being averaged.
4.4.3.3
DUT/Reference
Comparison Run
Screen
When a test is running, opens the DUT/Reference Comparison Run
Screen. This display provides convenient, real time, error information
calculated for each DUT compared to the ADCS-601.
4.4.3.3
Device Run Screen
When running an automated test, generates a popup menu to allow the
selection of the desired Device Run Screen to display. The selected Device
Run Screen automatically displays in the main window.
Click outputs on the various run screens to get a list of options that apply
to the output. Display unit of measure and resolution can be changed for
most outputs.
4.4.2
Step Back
When running a Test Definition automated test, causes the current test point
to be interrupted and the test point sequence to step back to the most recent
target output step. Subsequent clicks cause the test to step back one point
for each click. This button is used to repeat points when needed.
4.4.2.2
Step Forward
When running a Test Definition autoamted test, causes the current test point
to be interrupted and the test point sequence to step forward to the next step
in the point sequence. This feature only moves forward up to the take data
step of the highest point executed. The limitation is to ensure that data is
logged at each point and points are not skipped entirely. Most often this
button is used to skip through test dwell of an increment or to skip over
previously executed points when the step back key has been used.
