4. How Auto Test Works

Creating the Cable Test Schedule in Plan-Um, uploading it to the Validator, and running Auto Test is the easiest and most efficient way to verify cables. See the Uploading/Downloading Jobs section of this manual (or the Plan-Um Software Instructions) for detailed instructions on how to upload and download job information and test results between Plan-Um and the Validator.

When you have uploaded a job from Plan-Um to the Validator-NT main unit, the job will appear in the list on the Job Manager screen. To run an existing job, you must first open it from the Job Manager before using it with Auto Test.

When you open a job, the Auto Test screen appears. This screen gives you five options: Cable Test Schedule, Site Information, Contractor Information, Custom Cable Definitions and Job Utilities. See Figure 4.1 for a Flowchart of the Auto Test process.
