Saving Autotest Results - Fluke DSP-4100 User Manual

Saving Autotest Results

A DSP-4000 test tool can store the results of 500 or more Autotests, depending on
the test standard used. The test tool stores worst-case margins and worst-case
values for most frequency-dependant tests.
A DSP-4100 or DSP-4300 test tool with STORE PLOT DATA enabled can store
at least 250 Autotests in graphical format on a 16 MB memory card, depending on
the standard used. A DSP-4300 test tool stores results in internal memory if no
card is present. More Autotests can be saved if plot data is not included. If STORE
PLOT DATA is enabled, the saved Autotest results include plots from tests such
as the attenuation and NEXT tests. HDTDR and HDTDX plots are also saved.
Saving the plot data lets you include plots on reports uploaded to a PC and printed
with LinkWare software.
The test tool may not be able to read or store test results
on a memory card that contains other types of data (such
as music files).
If you used a permanent link test standard for the Autotest, the model number of
the personality module used on the permanent link adapter is saved with the
Autotest results and appears on printed test reports.
You can save the results from an Autotest anytime after the Autotest is complete,
but before another Autotest or a Single Test is started.
A cable identification (cable ID) is assigned to each Autotest you save. The screen
you use for entering a cable ID depends on which cable ID function is enabled.
