Gas Bottle Inventory
The application allows to create a gas bottle inventory to specify gasses and cylinder gas bottles. The inventory can be used to easily configure tests, and to track bottle parameters such as bottle expiry date, manufacturer information, and gas composition and concentrations.
Test Control
The Test Control window will display the test progress along with status information, showing the current test, measured values, and the expected results.
Test steps can be performed manually or automatically, depending on the test type and configuration.
The control windows allow for steps to be repeated, skipped or the whole test to aborted. The application also monitors the hardware health status, and will notify the user if any adjustments are necessary or steps has to be retaken if results are unacceptable.
All test results and recorded measured values can be exported to Excel or CSV file.
