1 Getting Started
1.1 Introduction
Ansur Test Automation Software is the evolution of the PRO-Soft software family and will become the
backbone of all Fluke Biomedical test systems in the future. Ansur is a test executive that handles all steps of
your test procedures by allowing a mixture of manual/visual tests and automated test sequences. The software is
designed to work hand-in-hand with Fluke Biomedical analyzers and simulators as an application where visual
inspections, preventative maintenance procedures, performance tests, and safety tests for any device can be
performed and stored from one file. The test procedures are stored in Test Template or Test Sequence files
(XML format) and the results are stored in Test Result files (also in XML format), which may be viewed and
printed with three different detail levels.
The Ansur QA-ES plug-in, supported on the Ansur software, provides remote access to all functionality of the
QA-ES Electrical Electrosurgical Analyzer. There is a unique Ansur QA-ES test element for each of the
measurements available at the QA-ES Electrical Electrosurgical Analyzer. The capabilities and use of the QA-
ES Electrical Electrosurgical Analyzer are fully explained by its user manual (see reference 1).
This manual is designed to assist the reader in the basic procedures for using the Ansur QA-ES plug-in within
the Ansur executive. It covers all features specific to the full QA-ES plug-in. Familiarity with the Ansur
software is assumed (see reference 2) as is familiarity with Microsoft Windows (see reference 3) and its features
