Sequence Designer
With the help of Sequence Designer software (up to firmware 1.8.3),
test sequences can be created at the PC and transferred to the
test instrument via a USB connection or a USB flash drive.
Attention!
!
If you change or shorten the default test sequences for
the respective standards, the danger exists that they will
no longer be compliant and will thus become invalid as
substantiation of operating safety in accordance with
DGUV regulation 3 or BetrSichV, or will no longer fulfil
these standards.
General Settings (Setup: auto measurements parameter)
The following settings can be entered for all test sequences in the
SETUP switch position on menu page 1/3 under the auto measure-
ments par
ameter:
SETUP
❑ At the End of the Sequence
At the end of a sequence, either the save symbol
appears in
order to prompt storage (“memory screen” parameter), or the
results list (“results list” parameter) is displayed.
❑ Considering Measurin
g Uncertainty
If Ye
s is selected, measuring uncertainty is taken into consider-
ation when the measurement results ar
e displayed. The final
result which appears at the display is downgraded by an
amount equal to measuring uncertainty.
❑ Auto Measuring P
oint
If Ye
s is selected, the test instrument detects whether or not
the protective conductor is contacted with the probe during
the protective conductor resistance measurement included in
an automated test sequence and automatically starts record-
ing a new measuring point. Statuses are indicated by various,
continuous acoustic
signals. The protective conductor test
can thus be conducted without using the keys on the instru-
ment.
Note
The “Auto Measuring Point” function is only activated
during test steps of the “multiple measurement” type. If
you want to use this function ...

– In the case of integrated test sequences: Make sure
that the “multiple measurement” test parameter 
(see page 54) is selected for the RPE test step. 
– In the case of user-defined test sequences (only with 
Z853R database expansion or feature KB01): 
Make sure that the RPE test step
has been entered to
the sequence as a “multiple measurement”.
❑ Initial Window Style
Selection can be made here between a
tree view and a detail
view for the first page of the test sequence (see section 10.2).
❑ Limit V
alue Mode
If you want to use only the limit values specified in the stan-
dards to evaluate the measurements, set the parameter to
Normal. 
When set to Ex
pert, the LIMIT softkey appears next to the
“measurement failed” popup if the measurement has not been
passed. This key makes it possible to enter a user-defined
limit value (as a rule a limit value specified by the manufacturer
which deviates from the standard), in order to allow the test to
be passed under these new conditions.
❑ Measuring sequences (no longer included in menu „C
ulture“ as from firm-
ware V1.6.0)
The following standards can be selected in this context: 
VDE, OVE (Dutch version: NEN) 
A restart of the instrument is launched provided the setting for
„M
easuring sequences“ has been modified and menu „Auto
Measurements“ is aborted.
Note
The test instrument must be restarted after changing the
measuring sequences.

Database structure and content remain unchanged.
❑ Autostore (Option SECUTEST DB comfort and/or Feature KD01)
If this function is activated („on“), the t
est results in the automatic
test sequence are immediately saved under the test object
(= device or ME device) which has been currently selected in the
database.
If you have not yet selected any test object in the memory man-
agement (key MEM), a message pops up informing you that auto-
matic storing of the current test is not possible.
You are requested to enter an object ID via the scanner or the
softk
eys or to select one from the database (key MEM). In this
case you have to save the test manually into the database via the
„Save“ softkey.
❑ Skip steps
Here you can configure whether the user is allowed to skip test
st
eps during a test sequence („on“).
This does not apply to inspection test steps that can be omitted
(which are not standard relevant)!
