System Administration
NanoSuite is designed with full administrative capabilities in mind. The
laboratory administrator can configure NanoSuite so that users and
privileges can be defined. This enables you to customize functionality
for the needs of individual users. For example, the laboratory
administrator may set up the system so that technicians can concentrate
on the basic performance of standard tests, although advanced users can
customize test procedure and analysis. For more on system
administration, see User Menu in Chapter 4, "NanoSuite".
Method
A method is a set of instructions that the system uses in performing tests
and analysis data. NanoSuite is delivered complete with a standard set
of methods, which can be used in a variety of indentation tests. For more
detailed information about customizing methods, see Appendix D,
"NanoSuite Explorer".
Test
A test is a single cycle through a NanoSuite method. For indentation
testing, this is a single indentation test at one location.
Sample
A sample is a collection of comparable tests. For indentation testing, a
sample might consist of ten tests on a particular material.
Batch
A batch is a collection of samples. A batch specifies when, where, and
how many times the procedure described by a particular method is
performed. For example, a batch may specify the following: Beginning
at 2:00 a.m., the procedure described by method A should be performed
ten times on each of two samples.
Online Help
An online Help system can be accessed from the File Menu.
