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).
