Start evaluation – record measured value. Each time this
softkey is pressed, an additional measured value is saved
and the number is increased by one.
The ID number to which the measurement(s) will be stored
can be entered here.
Valid measured values have been obtained for a measure-
ment. This measurement can be saved.
Save measurement data as (with display of directory path
/ ID or new entry of an ID other than the preselected one)
Send measurement data to the PC, e. g. for storing in the

8.3 Displaying the Last Measured values
1 Start the measurement by pressing the START/STOP key.
The symbol shown at the right appears and indicates
how many measurements have already been per-
formed.
1
2 Stop the measurement by pressing the START/STOP
key, unless a specified measuring time has been stipu-
lated. 
The save symbol (floppy dis
k with a number 1)
appears and indicates that one valid measured value has
been recorded, which can now be saved.
3 Press the save icon (floppy disk
).
1

“No test object selected!” appears. 
4 In order to view the last measured values, press the
symbol for executed measurements after testing. The
last
measured values are displayed.


5 The desired measurement can be selected with the
scroll keys.
6 The associated measuring parameters can be shown or
hidden using the keys shown at the right.
7 The measured value view is exited by pressing the
green checkmark, in order to subsequently save the mea-
sured values (as described in Section 8.4) or to return to the
i
nitial view by pressing the ESC key.
8.4 Measurement Series and Storage
Single measurements can be combined into measurement series.
The measured values can be saved by pressing the save key, or
measurement series can be generated. These can be saved to a
test object (ID number) which has already been set up in the data-
base (see Section 5.4.1). The appearance of the save key
changes depending on meaning.
Measuring Sequence with Pre-Selection of the Test Object
1 Activate the database view (MEM navigation) by pressing the
MEM key.


2 Select the test object or its ID number for the following
measurements with the scroll keys.
3 Return to the measuring view by pressing the MEM key or
the START/S
TOP key.
4 Start the test with the START/S
TOP key. 
0
The symbol shown at the right appears and the zero
indicates that no measurements ha
ve yet been
recorded or saved to buffer memory.
5 Each time the key at the right is pressed, the respec-
tively current measured value is saved to buffer mem-
ory and the number shown in
the symbol is increased. 
1
In this way, you always know how many measurements have
already been recorded.

6 Stop the measurement by pressing the START/STOP
key, unless a specified measuring time has been stipu-
lated. 
The sav
e as symbol appears (floppy disk icon with the
number of measured values saved to the clipboard).
7 If you press the save symbol now (floppy disk), the dis-
play is switched to the test object in the database view for
che
cking.
8 After pressing the save symbol once
again, acknowledgement
of successful storage appears. At the same time, the display
is switched to the measuring view.
Measuring Sequence with Subsequent Entry of the Test Object
1 Start the measurement by pressing the START/STOP key.
The symbol shown at the right appears and indicates
how many measurements have already been per-
formed.
3
2 Stop the measurement by pressing the START/STOP
key, unless a specified measuring time has been stip-
ulated. 
The save symbol (floppy disk with a
number 1)
appears and indicates that one valid measured value has
been recorded, which can now be saved.
3 Press the save symbol (floppy disk).

4 You are informed that you haven’t selected a test
object in the database.
5 There are two ways to subsequently select a test
object using an ID number which has already been set
up in the database: 
– Select the ID number with a bar
code scanner 
or 
– Enter an ID number by pressing the ID key.
6 The cursor jumps to the location of the test object with the
selected ID number. You only need to acknowledge this posi-
tion by pressing the green checkmark.
7 Press the save symbol (floppy disk). 
A message appears indicating that the
data have been suc-
cessfully saved and the display
is switched to the measuring
view.
Note
If the entered number cannot be found in the database
(because it hasn’t been set up), it can be entered imme
-
diately by pressing Ye
s when the prompt appears.
However, the storage location cannot be selected in this
case
. The measurement is saved to the most recently
selected hierarchy.
