8.5 Test Results
There is no way for the CIGui32 or CIGuiSII to determine the outcome of this test, as a clear
definition of a failure can not be given. The draft standard calls out the following possible test
results:
“The�test�results�shall�be�classified�on�the�basis of the operating conditions and functional
specifications of the equipment under test, as in the following, unless different specifications are
given by product committees or product specifications.
a) Normal performance within limits specified by the manufacturer, requestor or purchaser
b) Temporary loss of function or degradation of performance which ceases after the disturbance
ceases, and from which the equipment under test recovers its normal performance, without
operator intervention.
c) Temporary loss of function or degradation of performance, the correction of which requires
operator intervention.
d) Loss of function or degradation of performance which is not recoverable, owing to damage to
hardware or software, or loss of data.
As a general rule, the test result is positive if the equipment shows its immunity, for the duration of
the application of the test, and at the end of the tests the EUT fulfills the functional requirements
established�in�the�technical�specification.”
The user has to make this determination by observing the
unit under test. At the end of the test, the GUI will pop up a
dialog box asking the operator to assess the state of the
EUT. This prompt can be selected to appear after each
sub-test as by setting the "Prompt operator for EUT Status
after each test step" option. The operator may answer Yes
when prompted. If not, he should answer no. The
response to this query is incorporated as a PASS or FAIL result in the test report.
