TEST METHODS

To Select the Test
Each test is identified by a separate program number or shortcut key. Program
numbers are shown in test instruction sheets supplied with the instrument.
These follow on tests have their own program number for reference purposes
although direct access to these programs is restricted.
We strongly recommend that before attempting to do any tests, ensure you
read 'Blanks and Samples' and the 'Care and Maintenance' sections in Section 2.
