easyTest Tools
easyTest Tools is used to create work instruction files that consist of a command sequence and intructions to help less experienced personnel with operating the instrument in the field.
A drag-and-drop tool facilitates the creation of a test sequence from a library of commands.
Instructions can be a mix of textual prompts and graphic images.
Sample procedure files (.ett) are included with easyTest Tools.
Command sequences are delivered electronically and loaded on the instrument, where they are recalled with a press of a button.
Recall Setup places the instrument in the proper mode for the measurement by retrieving saved parameters such as measurement type, frequency and amplitude settings, markers and limit lines.
The current measurement setup or the screen display can be saved manually or automatically.
