Test Monitor

The test monitor constitutes the control centre of the ACTAS software. It is used for the active execution of all manual and automatic test steps as well as for the analysis of tests which have already been carried out.

The Job Explorer displays the structure of the loaded test job on the user interface as well as the test plan showing all the test steps which have already been completed. Individual test steps are started directly from the test plan. Once a test has started, the issue of control signals and the recording of switching operations are carried out in real time.

The software automatically calculates all the characteristic quantities and parameters from the captured quantities in accordance with the analysis specifications entered by the user and displays them in a clearly structured table of results. Results which lie outside the configured tolerances are highlighted. All measured analog and binary signal characteristics are displayed clearly on the freely configurable graphical area of the test monitor. The real-time zoom function and the measured value cursors allow manual analysis of the signal characteristics. For the purposes of directly comparing various test steps it is possible to overlay signal characteristics in any manner.n.
