Changing test parameters

Before a test is started, the parameters for the test need to
be set. There are three types of test parameters that can be
changed: Global Parameters, Test-Specific Parameters and Re-
sult-Specific Parameters. Global Parameters are test-specific
parameters that affect all Test Actions that are started in the
future. Test-Specific Parameters only affect the current test in
progress and Result-Specific Parameters affect individual Test
Results. Here are some examples of parameters:
• In Drop Jump the subjects generally jump five times, so the
Global Parameter Drop Jump Count is set to 5.
• Mr. Manager is interested in doing a longer jump sequence
to his group, so he sets the Test-Specific Parameter Drop
Jump Count to 10. After the group has finished, the jump
count will be returned back to five.
• The Drop Height parameter can be set individually for each
jump. Mr. Manager wants his group to jump three times
from 10 cm, three times from 15 cm and four times from 20
cm, so this parameter is changed before first, after third and
after sixth jump for each subject.
To change the Global Parameters of Drop Jump, choose the
Drop Jump test from the test list, select the Edit Test action and
tap the Do Action button. This enters the Test Parameter Editor
view shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19 Test Parameter Editor
The Test Parameter Editor view shows all parameters that can
be changed for the selected test type. In the case of Drop
Jump it contains two parameters:
• Number of Jumps determines the amount of jumps each sub-
ject performs before the test is considered complete.
• Drop Height determines the default drop height for each
jump. This parameter can be adjusted before each jump is
performed.
Tapping on the labels describing the parameter types (Jump
Count and Drop Height in case of Drop Jump ) shows a pop-up
description about the parameter as shown in Figure 20. The
pop-up descriptions are necessary, since all required informa-
tion about certain parameters do not fit into one page.

Set the Jump Count to 5 and Drop Height to 10 and tap on the
Save & Exit button to save the changes.
