Elements


The Elements tab enables you to define elements to include in specific types of tests. If a particular element (measurement type) is used in multiple tests, you only need to define it once.

To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter to sort on test element ID.

The field in the top section of the tab defines the data that the software displays.

Test element ID

Unique identifier of the test element currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field has a list box. If the ID is already defined, its description displays to the right of the ID.

When you specify a test type ID that includes this element, its ID displays on the Test Results tab of the Data -> Equipment Activity -> Testing -> Test Results screen.
