8 LOGGING DATA
Collecting a set of data with an In-Situ instrument is called “running a test.”
Many things that you do through Win-Situ and Pocket-Situ can be
visualized as actions performed on Tests. For example,
• to give the device instructions for collecting data you add a test to the
device.
• when you want the device to end data collection you stop a test.
• to copy test data from the device to a host computer you extract the
test data.
These actions are initiated by buttons in the Information pane when the
device’s Tests node (group view) or a Single test is selected in the
Navigation tree.
Advantages of
the Multiple Tests
View: (1) Group
actions can be performed
on multiple tests, (2) New
tests can be added to the
device, and (3) An existing
test definition can be
“Cloned” (copied).
