User Guide 

 

Active  Test  View

:    After  the  File 

Setup and Sensor Setup are defined 
for  a  test,  start  the  test  from  the 
Start  Testing  screen.    Review  the 
basic  test  setup  information  as 
shown  on  the  Start  Testing  screen 
to  verify  the  setup  is  correct.    You 
can also select a new File Setup or 
Sensor Setup by selecting an option 
from the drop-down box. 
 

After clicking on the Send Test Setup button, the screen 
will  display  the  Execute  Test  viewer.    For  the  first  few 
seconds  (typically  3-10  seconds)  the  screen  will  show  a 

‘working  spinner’  that  is  active  while  the  POD  is  being 

configured for the test.  After the POD is ready, the screen 

will show the ‘Start Test’ view.  This means the 

POD is ready 

 

BUT the POD is not ‘listening’ for 

the Start Trigger.  When you are ready to set the 
POD  to  conduct  the  test,  click  the  Start  Test 
button.    Once  the  test  is  started,  the  view  will 
change to show the active data as being sensed 
by  the  POD.    Only  data  for  those  selected 

‘Monitored Sensors’ is displayed on the Execute 

Test screen. 

If  the  Start  Trigger  is  set  as  the  Tablet/PC,  the  start 

trigger  button  will  highlight  ‘blue.’    If  you  did  select 

Tablet/PC as the trigger, click that button when ready.  
After  the  Start  Trigger  is  sensed,  the  tablet/PC  will 
beep  and  the  background  of  the  sensor  data on  the 
screen is shown as green (to indicate test data is being 
collected and saved in the file). 

 
At  anytime  prior  to  the  Stop  Trigger  being  sensed, 
clicking the Cancel Test button will cancel the test (no 
data is saved - no test file is created).  At the end of 
the test (Stop Trigger)

, the screen will blink ‘red’ and 

the tablet/PC will beep.
