The SSTDR can be used as a stand-alone application, with the settings being supplied by entries in the SSTDR.ini file. If the SSTDR is being used as part of the NODES™ software, then it is setup and controlled by NODES™. Status of the SSTDR is shown by the status bar which is currently showing that the SSTDR is connected and the small icon shows that the application is active.
Other states include: Initialising..., Not Connected and Simulated.
The Gold values are shown in yellow; if there is no Gold then '---.-' will be displayed.
The current reading is shown in white on a green background (status is deemed good) or a red background (status has failed).
A failed status will only be shown if there is a Gold, and if the current reading is either in a different state ie Open/Close, or the distance is more than 10% greater/less than the Gold.
The SSTDR application has a number of NavBands available to the User (the current view shows the Graph Display NavBand selected. See SSTDR NavBands for more details.
Click Gold to declare the currently readings as the Gold.
If there is no Gold, then the button will show Profile. Use the Profile button to create a new Test Profile using the current test settings, the TPs connected and the current values as the new Gold.
Click Reset , to clear the Current reading, and if there is a Gold, the current reading's background will reset to green until a fail condition occurs.
