Tab

Description

EUT Performance
Measurements

This tab may be used to display EUT performance data as measured by the
power source‟s advanced data acquisition system. If the source used does not
support advanced measurement function such as waveform capture and FFT,
some of the information in this tab may not be displayed.

In addition to the three tab controls, the left pane of the ABD windows contains a set of output
on/off control buttons and a print button. The on/off buttons may be used to open or close the
output relay of the power source at any time. If the output relay is opened during a test run, the
test is automatically aborted when the operator clicks on the Off button. The ON button will be
show in red while the output relay is closed. The Off button is shown in green if the output relay is
open. The report print function can be invoked by either clicking on the Print button or using the
File, Print menu.

If the GUI program is used in demo mode, the “DEMO MODE ONLY!!!” banner will be displayed
in this area as well. In Demo mode, all test runs and all measurements are simulated. This
mode may be used to develop new test sequences off-line but any run-time errors will not be
detected until executed with an actual power source.
