combination of features. Press the [Default Settings] button to automatically
display the ADCS Tools default data fields.
[Data File] Tab
The [Data File] tab is used to customize the selection of data fields that are
actually logged in the test Data File. The selections do not affect the data
displayed in the Data Grid Run Screen. Although a specific piece of data is not
logged in a test Data File, it can still display in the Data Grid Run Screen.. Only
data actually logged to the Data File can be imported into the Test Data
Database. Press the [Default Settings] button to automatically log the ADCS
Tools default data fields.
[Data Header] Tab
The [Data Header] tab is used to customize the data logged in the header
portion of a test Data File. Header data includes detailed information on the
specific devices used to measure test data. Although header data is the basis of
report information, not all header data is desired. Few ADCS Tools setups will
require all header data. Check the header options relevant to your typical
setups.
[End Test] Tab
The [End Test] tab is used to user preferences affecting operations that occur to
conclude a test sequence.
<Finish point of each cycle> allows the operator to use the ADCS Tools features
to step back in a test to repeat points. Check <Enable repeat for fixed time delay>
and enter a time to allow stepping back for a fixed time after the test ends. Check
<Prompt to repeat> to have ADCS Tools query the operator at the end of a test.
check <No repeat option> to have the test complete without pausing.
Check <Auto generate reports after complete test> to have ADCS Tools
automatically generate a test report using the last report template used when the
test is completed. The <Test Complete> options still display at the end of the test.
Check <Prompt for test notes at the end of complete tests> to have ADCS Tools
prompt the operator to enter notes specific to the test once the test has completed.
