Operating Basics: User Interface

The Test Mode section enables the user to set continuous, timed, or timed-repetitive tests. The Continuous setting configures the test cycle so that it will run continuously from the time that the Start button is clicked until the Stop button is clicked. The Timed setting configures the test cycle to run the test for the duration of the test time. The Timed-Repetitive setting configures the test cycle to run the test for the duration of the test time and then to repeat the same test again. To choose the Test Mode click the appropriate radio button.
