Figure 3-6. The TEST Measurement Process
Timed Tests. When the Timed mode is selected, the Analyzer will automatically
stop accumulating Test results after the test interval (specified by the user) has
elapsed. All Test results will be frozen until the CLEAR key is pressed to begin a
new test.
Repeat (Timed) Tests. When the Repeat mode is selected, the Analyzer will
automatically stop and then restart a test after a user specified test length has
elapsed. This process will continue until the user presses the CLEAR key to
manually stop Test result accumulation.
Untimed Tests. When the Untimed mode is selected, the Analyzer will continue
to collect Test results until the CLEAR key is pressed. At this point Test results
will remain frozen until the CLEAR key is pressed again to start a new test.
