12. Configuring for Device Records or Templates 1
To speed up the process of entering test variables into the 601 Pro before
executing the tests, Device Records and Templates are available to store these
variables for quick recall.
Device Records store test variables for each specific piece of equipment to be
tested. These records not only store test variables, but specific equipment
information such as serial number, control number and location of each device
tested as well. Templates on the other hand, do NOT store the specific
equipment information, but require this information to be keyed in at the end of
each test for the test report when running an AUTO/STEP sequence.
Up to a combined total of 1000 Device Records and Templates can reside
together in the 601Pro’s memory. As indicated in the table below, a Device
Record is stored and recalled by the equipment control number. A Template
however, is identified by its name.
All the information stored in a Device Record and a Template is listed in the
following table.
Field Device Record Template
Field to Store by Control Number Name
Standard Yes Yes
Class and Type Yes Yes
Applied Current Yes Yes
Startup Delay Yes Yes
Pause Before Power Off Yes Yes
Power Off Delay Yes Yes
Number of Applied Part Leads Yes Yes
Applied Part Names and Types Yes Yes
Serial Number Yes No
Location Yes No
Device Type Yes Yes
Device Manufacturer Yes Yes
Procedure ID Yes Yes
The advantage of using Templates over Device Records is the reduction of
601Pro memory required to store information on the equipment tested. For
instance, one template can be used to test all devices in your inventory that
have the same model number or require the same test protocol. It’s also easy to
initiate a test sequence for devices using the same template by simply pressing
YES at the “Repeat Auto/Step Sequence?” prompt.
You can print a list of Device Records or Templates by pressing PRINT LIST
in the Device Record or Template Utilities.
1 Templates are available on units operating with V2.00 and later firmware
