YSI Level Scout - Manual (Page 17)

Tip
Double clicking within the current (top) selected tab display area will force Data Scout
Advanced to reread that test profile’s information from the attached Level Scout. This is
useful for getting a quick, real time update of the status of an Active or Pending test profile.
The frame labeled Configure/Edit Test X provides an easy to use method for displaying and editing the test profile controls. By
clicking on different test configuration tabs, the contents of the Configure/Edit frame will update to reflect the test configuration for
that selected test. There are four configuration tabs used to configure a test; Time, Measure, Scan, and Other. These tabs are used to
both display the configurations of an existing test profile and to edit the configurations for a new test profile.
You may not edit test profiles for Done tests, they must first be vacated. Active
tests may only have their end time changed.
Tip
The Time tab is used to display or edit the times a test profile will start and end (figure 3.11). When editing a test profile, Data Scout
Advanced will allow the user to specify the start and end times in either absolute time or relative time. If relative times are used, Data
Scout Advanced will transparently convert those requested relative start and stop times into absolute times at the time the test profile
is sent to the Level Scout. Note that the calculated times are relative to the time the configuration is sent to the Level Scout, not the
time the relative settings were entered. If the test end time is specified in relative time, the requested end time will be relative to the
test start time. If the user would like a test to acquire data forever, select an end time of None. When test profile information is
displayed, it will always be displayed in absolute time format.

The Measure tab(figure 3.12) is used to display or edit the parameters that will be measured during a test. Possible measurements for
each test configuration include pressure, temperature, PCB-temperature (only available on Level Scout with 4MB memory option),
and supply voltage. A check next to the measurement type indicates that data will be collected for that parameter.
