14.4 Next Test Date
The test instrument automatically determines when the next test
is due. In this regard, the current test must be:
– Passed and
– Saved to memory
Calculation
The next test date is calculated using the selected standard inter-
val (in months). The default setting is 12 months. This can be
changed under SETUP > Auto Measurements > Std. Interv. (Mon.).
Inclusion in Report
The due date for the next test is included by default in the report
(see section 18 “Reports”).
This can be deactivated by setting Next Test Date to “Off” under
SETUP > Test Reports.
Interaction with Individual Test Interval
(of a test object in the database)
In the case of test instruments with feature KB01, the SECUTEST
DB+ database extension (Z853R or feature KB01) or the SECUT-
EST DB COMFORT database extension (Z853S or feature KD01),
each DUT can be assigned its own test interval. If a value has
been entered to the “Test interval” field for the respective test
object, this value will be used for calculation instead of the default
interval.
The individual test interval entered to the database for the
test object has priority over the standard interval.
The default interval has no influence on the “Test interval”
database field (no entry, no change of existing individual
test intervals).
Refer to section 12 “Internal Database”, concerning the entry of
individual test intervals.
Interaction with Test Intervals in IZYTRONIQ
In the case of test instruments with feature KB01 or the SECUT-
EST DB+ database extension (Z853R or feature KB01), data can
be transferred from IZYTRONIQ to the test instrument. (See
“Transferring and Saving Test Structures and Measurement Data
(test instrument data base)” on page 95.)
A test interval can also be entered to IZYTRONIQ for each test
object. If data are then transferred between IZYTRONIQ and the
test instrument, existing data are overwritten/updated in either
direction:
• Data transfer from IZYTRONIQ to the test instrument:
The test interval specified in IZYTRONIQ is written to the test
instrument’s database.
• Data transfer from the test instrument to IZYTRONIQ:
The test interval specified in the test instrument’s database is
written to IZYTRONIQ (and overwrites any existing interval
there).
The actual test dates – regardless of whether they’ve
been calculated using the standard interval or the data-
base interval – are NOT transferred to IZYTRONIQ!
