PLUG
The first inspection (COVER / CASE) will be pre-selected on entering this
screen. Users can also navigate up and down the columns. Hitting the
Fast key marked PASS will cause a Pass to be entered for the selected
VISUAL INSPECTION and the next inspection to be selected. Hitting the Fast
key marked FAIL will cause a Fail to be entered for the selected VISUAL
INSPECTION and the next inspection to be selected. Hitting the fast key
marked N/A (Not Applicable) will cause N/A to be entered for the selected
VISUAL INSPECTION and the next inspection to be selected. Only when
all tests have a result will the RH Fast key display and allow an OK. Enter/
Green key will cause an OK action if all results are filled.
Once the table has been completed then a large tick or cross will appear
depending on the overall result (any X will cause an overall Fail).
The Overall Pass Fast key will set a Pass for every VISUAL INSPECTION.
After the visual tests, the test sequence will continue into the first actual
electrical test of the test sequence.
Note
Help screens may be displayed depending on the User Level set.
It is possible to stop these appearing by altering the User Level.
