4.4.3.1 EXPORT RESULTS APPEND When Export Results = Append, a .csv file is created at the completion of the first test run with the results displayed on a single row. If there were ten (10) test runs, there would be ten (10) rows, e.g. one .csv file with a row added at the completion of each test run. The .csv naming convention is [Test Name]_Results. NOTE When Append is selected, a .csv file is created for the test with a unique row for each test run within the batch. 4.4.3.2 EXPORT RESULTS OVERWRITE When Export Results = Overwrite, a .csv file is created for each test run. The .csv file has a row containing the results. "Overwrite" means that the current .csv file for this test is over-written with new results at the completion of each test run, e.g. there is only one (1) .csv file for this test. The .csv file is named [Test Name]_Results and is saved to the EXPORTS directory. NOTE When Overwrite is selected, there is always only one (1) .csv file for the test setup. At the completion of a test run, the data from the previous run is replaced by the new data. 4.4.3.3 EXPORT RESULTS AUTO-NUMBER When Export Results = Auto Number, a new .csv file is created at the completion of each test run. If there were ten (10) test runs, there would be ten (10) .csv files, e.g. one .csv file for each test run. The .csv naming convention is [Test Name]_Results[Run Number]. NOTE When Auto Number is selected, a .csv file is created for each test run within the batch. 4.4.4 RUNS LIMIT The Runs Limit is the number of test runs that will appear on the Data View until the runs are overwritten. When the Runs Limit = 3, each run will be shown with a sequential number that represents the Runs Number.When test Run 4 is conducted, Run 4 will display at the completion of the test, and Run 1 will be moved to the ARCHIVE folder in the METLOGIX directory. 5.0 PERFORMING YOUR L1 TEST Select the test method you want to perform by choosing the test from the test method main menu.
