Note: While the top line is the active selection line, the program number and name will
always be flashing.
Pressing the · or ‚ key scrolls through the program numbers (0-9) and displays the corresponding
program name. While scrolling, if the slot scrolled to has no program in it, EMPTY is displayed
next to the program number, and pressing the Enter key has no effect.
Pressing the ESC key with this screen displayed causes the screen in Figure III-5 to again be
displayed (i.e. go back one level).
Once the sample is prepared and the Enter key is pressed with a valid program displayed, the
following screen is displayed:

where the two (2) digit spindle number is displayed on the top line. Attach the appropriate
spindle and lower it into the sample before continuing.
Pressing the Enter key with Figure III-8 displayed performs the following:
• The test is started.
• The pre-test information (test parameters) is sent to both the serial (RS-232) port and to an
attached printer via the parallel printer port. See section II.3 for a description of the pre-test
information sent to the printer.
• The program number being run is recorded so that it will be the first program shown the
next time that START TEST is selected from the Default Screen (Figure III-5).
Pressing the ESC key at this screen causes Figure III-7 to be displayed.
After ensuring the appropriate spindle is attached and pressing the Enter key, the various Run
screens are displayed. The top line of the Run screens always displays the program and spindle
number as follows:
