Test Process Set Up

The TEST Menu contains the following six selections:

LENGTH: Test length: hours, minutes, seconds.

MODE: Test timing mode: Timed, Untimed, or Repeat.

REPORT: Test reporting mode: None, Print On Error, or Both.

THRESH: Threshold for the TES (threshold errored second) result.

SQUEL: On Error report squelch after 10 consecutive seconds: yes or no.

PRINT: Use this function to print current Test results immediately.

If you want to collect TEST results, you must set LENGTH and MODE before you begin a test. And if you are using a printer you should set the REPORT parameter as desired. Note that On Error reports can generate a lot of paper, so select On Error or Both with caution. Setup of the other parameters in the TEST Menu are optional.
