5.1 Save results to a test file (.fxml)
When a new test file is created, it is automatically named based on the Standard used (ISO) and
the date (yyyy-MM-dd) and time (HHmm) that the file was created, and it has a file extension of
.fxml.
For example, “ISO 2014-02-28 1642.fxml” would be the name of the file created at 16:42
(4:42pm) on the 28
th
day of February in the year 2014.
When you click “File” “Save”, FanTestic Integrity stores test data into that file.
Test files are normally saved on your local C: drive under [MyDocuments]\Retrotec\Tests.
Test data can be automatically saved at periodic intervals by turning the Auto Save function on
(“File” “Auto save?”). Note that if you change the location of the test file to a remote drive,
and then remove the remote drive with FanTestic Integrity running and AutoSave on, the
software will not be able to save the file to the remote drive anymore, and may report an error.
5.2 Save results to a different file
FanTestic Integrity can store test data (“File” “Save As”), which creates a new test file with
the same name as the current test file but with the current date (yyyy-mm-dd) and time
(HHMM) added at the end.
For example, using the original test file “ISO 2014-02-28 1642.fxml”, if we do a “File” “Save
As” at 10:42am on the 3
rd
of March 2014, the new file will have the suggested file name: “ISO
2014-02-28 1642 [2014-03-03 1042].fxml”.
The “SaveAs” function makes it convenient to save the original test and keep it intact, but have a
second “Save As” copy in which to manipulate parameters without affecting the original test.
The “SaveAs” copy of the file may be changed without affecting the original test data, but the
two files are visually linked via the filename.
5.3 Open a test file (.fxml)
To open a previous test that has already been completed and saved, there are several options:
The main screen for FanTestic Integrity can display previously completed tests in the “Test
History” pane on the left hand side (with a photo of the building, if it was included when the
test file was created). If you have this option turned on (“Test History” “AutoHide“ not
enabled), the list will remain open on the left at all times. Click the name of the test file you
would like to open.
Go to: “File” “Open” and a pop-up Windows Explorer window will display all tests in the
[MyDocuments]\Retrotec\Tests directory which have the file extension “.fxml”.
Go to: “Test History” “Show“ – the left hand list of all saved tests will appear, the same
as the one displayed on the opening screen for FanTestic.
5.4 Generate report documents (MS Word) from test data
FanTestic Integrity includes a built-in template for reports generated from test data, for each of
the supported Standards.
