Figure 8-5	Making a Test Procedure File
Running a Test	1 Select the Run Test field.
Sequence	2 Follow directions and prompts on the Agilent 8922M/S screen according to the

	test sequence being run.
	3 When testing is complete, the Agilent 8922M/S will respond to front panel or
	remote input. If at any time you need to stop testing, press the front-panel
			key.
		CANCEL

NOTE	A program takes up to 3 minutes to load into the Agilent 8922M/S and is loaded when
	the Run Test field is first pressed.
	Press the front-panel						keys to abort from an error condition or to
				SHIFT		CANCEL
	abort from the program. When you abort from loading the program, you’ll need to
	clear Agilent 8922M/S RAM memory in order to correctly re-load the program at a
	later time.
	To clear Agilent 8922M/S RAM, select and run the ROM program COPY_PL from
	the Procedure field in the TESTS menu. (Running COPY_PL deletes all
	SAVE/RECALL registers. So instead you may want to load another program, run it,
	and then re-load the original program that was aborted.
