A small window will then pop up that will act as the control window for this data collection option.
If the test is a multi-fan setup (i.e. more than one fan), be sure you have the appropriate choice between
using splitter box or individual control. Note that individual control is the default in FanTestic, and refers
to the way the fans are controlled by the gauges (see section 1.9.1.4).
Fans can be controlled either by setting
the speed, or by setting the target
building pressure. Enter the desired fan
speed or building pressure into the
appropriate green box, or use the slider to
increase/decrease the speed and/or
pressure. Click to start the
fans at the speed/pressure selected, or to
update them if the speed or pressure
value has been changed.
Determine what type of point is to be
taken (bias pressure initial or final, or
building pressure). This point can be put
into the next empty or incomplete cell in
FanTestic, or you can choose which of the
12 cells to put it in (by selecting the
appropriate choice in the drop-down box).
If taking bias pressures, choose Initial
baseline or Final bias pressure, set the fan
speed to zero or set the pressure target to
0 and click , and then click
. Do not click Stop
Fan(s) because that tells the Test Dashboard in FanTestic that the Semi-Auto window is not doing any
more data collecting.
If taking induced pressures, once satisfied with the fan speed, or the Test Dashboard in FanTestic says
that the building pressure has been achieved, click the button to have the data point
taken in the software program.
