If a screen resolution lower 1440x1280 is being used, then an internal GXY View will be displayed (as shown above). During the test, either the internal GXY View (if low screen resolution) or the Continuity - Grid View can be displayed; at any point a full size GXY View can be opened from the Viewer Options Band.
Status Indicator
Shows the status of the test and includes: Active (Green), Fault (shown here in Red), Test Ended (Black), Simulate (Orange). The Status Indicator is designed to be large enough to be seen at a distance and catch the user's eye should a Fault occur.
|
Test Title
Shows the application name and the test mode the application has been configured for. In this example, this is the P2P Testing application which has been configured for Continuity.
|
Test Index
The Test Index is the count of tests that have been completed. A single test may comprise of multiple connections and readings.
The FIFO Counter displays how many test results are held in the test application's FIFO awaiting processing. The FIFO Counter can start to rise if the CC's CPU becomes busy with other activities; normal the counter will hover around 0 to 1.
|
Test Time
Panel displays the actual Test Time for the test to complete. The Pause Time, is the actual time the test was paused for by the User. The total Test Time does not include the Pause Time.
|
DMM Display
The DMM Display panel show the status of the DMM, this will include the Model and Serial No if the DMM is connected, and the phase 'Not Connected', if it has been disconnected.
For Continuity testing, the DMM Display is set to off, because the readings are being taken so quickly, it would be meaningless to try and display them.
However, if the test is Paused, then the DMM Display is set to on, and will show current readings.
|
Test Toggle
The Continuity test is running in the example shown, and so the Test Toggle buttons is showing Pause.
On pausing the test, the button will show Resume. The User can connect or disconnect TPs from the various measurement buses, and perform ad-hoc test mid-test.
Once finished, press the Test Toggle button marked Resume, to continue the test.
When the test has ended (shown by the Status Indicator turning Black), the Test Toggle, will show Re-Run Test
|
Capture
The Capture function allows the User, as anytime in the test, including start or end, to Capture the GXY View and the results in the Grid View. The Captured snapshot, is compiled and creates or adds to a pdf in the \TestPrograms\datasetName\uutname\Data with a file name that reflects the UUT, the test and the date eg CABLE-LM[Continuity](2018-07-20).pdf
|
Cancel
At anytime during the test, this button will show Cancel. On completion of the test, it will show Close. When showing Close, pressing this button is the same a clicking on the form's cross in the top-right.

P2P Testing NavBands
|
Test Progress Bar
The estimated number of individual tests is calculated at the beginning of the test, and then tracked and displayed on the progress bar.
|
Form Control
The form control includes (from the left), Pin to Top, Minimise and Close. If Close is selected during a test, the User will be asked if they would like to continue.
|
Views
Different views are provides for the User to display in various formats the test results.
-
Full Grid View - all test results shown in reverse chronological order.
-
Summary Grid View - same as Full Grid View but with only the faults listed.
-
Report View - a compiled test report which is completed once the test has finished (shown here disabled because the test is in progress).
-
GXY View - a view of the GXY graphic
For this example, the GXY shown here is embedded in the application because the GXY is small; for larger GXY, this will be disabled and the GXY Viewer will need to be opened under the NavBand Viewer Options.
|
GXY Output
At the beginning of the test, all the TPs are shown as 'Dim Grey'. As the test progresses, the test points are coloured in with their designated TP colour, see Designated Test Point Colour. If there is a fault, then the TP object is bordered with a red outline, and if fault lines are set to be shown, a red line will be drawn to the TP's designated 'test ground'.
By clicking on the TP objects a Popup will appear, that will provide additional information and control for the specific TP selected.
