Starting a Test
Preconditions to start a test
1. The required test card is defined, the test parameters are set.
2. The software is in the Test Card View.
3. The Emergency Stop button is released.
4. The safety key lock is set to the "enable" position.
Pressing the I/O (test start/stop) push-button starts the test. Pressing this
push-button a second time stops the test.
While a test is running, several functions such as changing the test card,
changing the view etc., are disabled.
To repeat the test, the test results need to be cleared beforehand. Otherwise the
start is blocked.
Note: Tests can only be started and stopped with the I/O (test start/stop)
push-button while in the Test Card View.
Each test card represents a separate test, and is started individually.
Note: Stopping a test does not shut off the CPC 100 outputs
instantaneously. First, the currently running test sequence finishes,
then the test execution is stopped.
Most test cards finish the running test sequence with a predefined
ramp function.
Therefore
, in an emergency situation never press "Stop Test".
Instead, use Emergency Stop.
