Note
All these pre-test prompts can be turned off. However, if using
the medTester with an Equipment Management System, at a
minimum you will want to leave the Control Number on for the
proper work order closure.
Important Special Character Rules
Remember these rules when typing characters:
•
The double quote (“) and tilde (~) characters are illegal and are
never accepted from any source including an external keyboard,
serial port, or bar code. The medTester 5000C ignores these
characters.
•
Commas (,) and pound signs (#) are illegal in the CONTROL #
and will be rejected with an error message if entered.
•
The pound sign (#) is used by the medTester 5000C to flag a failed
test and therefore, fail the entire test record. You can also
deliberately fail a test record by typing a pound sign (#) in one of
these fields:
•
Physical Inspection
•
Comments
•
Peformance Comments
Other fields can accept a pound sign (#) without failing the test record.
Turning Prompts Off
You can turn individual prompts on or off and rename prompts six through
eight (6-8) from the list above. See the section Customizing Your Autosequence
Prompts in Chapter 6. While you may have some or all prompts turned off, the
autosequence still gives you the opportunity to enter device information with
the message:
This message appears on the display for two (2) seconds. If you press F5
within the two-second period, prompts two (2) through seven (7) show. This
procedure only affects the current execution of the autosequence.
The prompt override feature allows you to conveniently enter device
information for a new piece of equipment into your equipment management
database system.
When prompts are turned off, the medTester 5000C automatically begins the
autosequence.
