Pull-down menus in the Editor allow you to download the program to the tester,
so that it may be run for the purposes of evaluation and modification.

1.8.2 Storing Programs and Results - The Server

The Editor software previously described allows you to create and evaluate
each individual test program. It is not intended to manage the large numbers
of test programs that may be required on a daily basis once they are in
'production' use. This is the function of a second PC program supplied with
your ATi called the Server.
Usually, the Server would be installed on a PC with access to a large disk that
could be attached to the PC itself, or connected via a network. The Server
(and disk) would then be used for any of the following purposes:
• To provide the master archive for test programs
• To archive test results.
• To interface to an SPC package.
• To remotely control the tester.
The tester has a separate 'server' port on its rear panel for connecting to
the PC.
