Data Management - TESTO 400 Instruction Manual

The proof value of the data measured is determined by the time, allocation of a location and other
conditions during the measurement. (Where, when, how and in what conditions was the
measurement carried out?).
For example, 23.4 °C is a measured value without reference and meaning. An actual value has
been taken completely out of its context. Additions such as 13.4.97/ 8:30 a.m./ cold store,
incubator or living room/ 17 °C connect the actual value with the desired value and this can be
assessed years later.
The values measured in the measuring instruments of the testo 400/650/950 series are constantly
accompanied by a location (top right in display). This information as well as date and time appear
as additional information in all of the printouts and in the PC files.
The location is selected in situ from a list stored in the measurement instrument:
Measurement menu →
Page+/Page- use to scroll through a long list of locations.
It is best to use the testo 400 module for testo Comsoft
software (from Version 3.0) to process the list.
You can also modify the list directly in the instrument:
LOCATION function box - Change function button.
Select with :
• New folder: You can also set up a folder to structure the
locations.
The layout is in a tree structure corresponding to
testo Comsoft software.
5 hierarchical levels (folders and sub-folders) can be
set up.
• New location: A new location can be set up
(see below about entering characters).
• Copy: You can change a saved location and save as a new
location. The original location will be retained. This is
ideal for numbering locations e.g. Hall 1, Hall 2,...
(see below about entering characters).
• Change: You can change a stored location (see below about entering characters).
The barcode number is retained after a new name has been saved.
• Delete: You can delete a location or folder from the list.
• Info (only for locations, not for folders): shows additional, attached information on the location
(entered via testo Comsoft software ).
