2.1 General information

In the area of system parameters important basic settings on all functions of the EST900/S are defined. On the following pages you will find explanations on the options of all system parameters. To guarantee correct and safe test operation, the “System parameters” area should be made absolutely inaccessible to unauthorised persons by use of a password. Please observe the information on the application of the password in 2.8.

2.2 Setting of language

With this parameter you can change the system language of the operating panel. After having selected a language with the handwheel all screen dialogues, when acknowledged by means of pressure on the handwheel, will be switched immediately to the new language. The available languages are: German English French Spain Italian Dutch Polish Czech Danish Portuguese

2.3 Setting of operating mode

In the same way, you can switch between the different operating modes of the device: Manual

Regular, manual test operation with single tests or with test programmes Digital

Test programme selection and start/stop functions are performed in digital test operation via digital interface X6 (“ext. I/O”) (see 5.2). Bar code

In bar code operation the tester is controlled by a bar code scanner via interface X5 (USB). The bar code from the scanner selects the test programme (see 5.1). PLIS

In PLIS operation the device is integrated into a local network (LAN) and the test programmes and results are administered by a central server (see 5.3).

If “Digital output” is activated (default option) then all eight inputs and all eight outputs of digital I/O interface X6 are available for test step “I/O test”.

If “Digital output” is not activated then outputs 1–4 of I/O interface are used for hardware status signals. For test step “I/O test” only outputs 5–8 (and all of the inputs) will be available (see 3.3.14, and annex A-4).

With this option you can select how to perform an ERROR test in digital operation. If “Acknowledgement” has not been activated the next test will be started immediately by a start signal EXT_START on X6. If “Acknowledgement” has been activated then an erroneous test has to be acknowledged first via EXT_ACK before the next test can be started via EXT_START.

Information: If “Acknowledgement” for the digital mode is activated then the acknowledgement of a FAIL/ERROR test result will also be requested in
