Example. The first option shown above( 1 = on --> OFF )allows you to turn WalkTest on and off
for the group you selected in Step 2 above. In the example, the arrow points to OFF, indicating that
WalkTest is not currently on for the selected group. To turn it on, you would press the number 1 on
the keypad. When you do this, the arrow turns around to indicate that ON is selected and the option
reads 1 = ON <-- off.
The options are as follows:

condition to be time tagged and added to the log. See
previous option above. When SIG is selected, signals
sound during the WalkTest. When NO is selected, no
signals are used during the WalkTest.
