8.3.2.1 The Test/Screen Option
Select the Test/Screen option to load, create, save, and delete
test/screen conditions. If a test/screen condition is already loaded when
you activate the Test/Screen Library, its name appears after the Active
Screen Condition menu bar header (see Figure 39). The Screen Condition
option contains five commands:
 
Figure 39. The Test/Screen option
- 
Load enables you to activate test/screen conditions already in the
test/screen conditions database.
 
- 
New enables you to create new test/screen conditions.
 
- 
Save enables you to save the test/screen condition.
 
- 
Saveas enables you to save an existing test/screen condition under
another name.
 
- 
Delete enables you to remove an existing test/screen conditions
from the Test/screen Library.
 
8.3.2.1.1 The Load Command
- 
Select the Load command from the Test/Screen Condition
menu. A list of all existing test/screen conditions in the Library appears
(see Figure 40).

- 
Select the test/screen condition you want to activate. You return
to the Test/Screen Library screen. The test/screen condition name appears
in the Active Screen Condition menu bar header. The File Name appears in
the upper-right hand corner.
 
To view information about a test/screen condition, select the Comments
hot key, <F1>. A window containing a description of the test/screen
appears.
To view the parameters of the test/screen condition before selecting
it, press Alt-P. A list of the parameters appears (see Figure 41).
The parameters cannot be changed in this mode. All the test condition parameters
are defined on pages 8-21 to 8-24.
 
Figure 41. The parameter window
Some screen conditions have a Acceleration Power Spectral Density (APSD)
profile in their Parameters window. To view it, click on APSD or
press Alt-G. A graphics window shows the PSD-versus-frequency profile
for the test/screen condition.
Definitions for Edit Test/Screen Parameters
All test/screen condition parameter windows have a Description
field containing the name assigned the test/screen condition file. Pressing
F1 calls a Comments window that contains information about the test/screen
condition, such as its purpose and source. Many of the terms below are
further defined in the Glossary in Appendix C.
