Test Data Ops

This is a sub-menu that is used to manage the database and upload the
saved data to a PC. Test Data Ops provides the following choices:
Upload Test Data: Instructs the WD Quick Tester user to upload
!
the database to a computing device attached to the other end of
the serial cable. This is a 'blind' transfer (no hand shaking is
required for the transfer). Once started, all used records are sent.
See Appendix for cable requirements and data format.
Delete Data: There are two options in this selection. The first
!
deletes the most recent test record which can be useful if you abort
an operation or need to delete the record. The second option
causes the entire database to be deleted.
DB Memory Usage: This displays the number of used records
!
indicated by the message "Recs: xxx/100" where xxx is a number
between 0 and 100. When the database is full, the tester will
overwrite the earliest record in a circular fashion.
Done: Return to the previous menu.
