ECEIVING
By default, the AT Series Tester does not automatically send test results back
to the Server. Results will only be sent back for test programs that have been
set up with the 'Send Results to Server' option enabled.
The Server receives test results from the tester via the same serial connection
used for transferring test programs to the tester. Results handling is a
separate function of the Server program, and is not part of program transfer.
Where more than one tester is connected to your server PC, the one Server
program handles all the transformer tester results as well as acting as the
central Server.
All results sent by one tester's channel during one day, are collected together
and formed into one large file. This file is known as the batch results file.
One batch results file will be generated per open channel, per day. Batch files
are stored under the specified results directory; see chapter 2, section 2.2.6.
The DOS filename of the batch results file is generated as follows:
c<n><dd><mm><yy>.atr
Where:
n
dd
mm
yy
example:
c1250297.atr
'atr' is the reserved file extension used by the Server to indicate a stored test
result file.
What follows is an example of the first part of a batch result file, as viewed in a
standard text editor.
Note the DOS file name (c6200697.atr) and the part name (TUTORIAL) are
both listed within the file.
