R&S TM G5 Performing a DUT Test
Performing the Master Test Sequence
4 Performing a DUT Test
A complete DUT test normally consists of two separate test sequences:
- The "Master Test Sequence" which contains all tests which can be performed
automatically without user intervention.
- The "Master Test Sequence Appendix" which contains the additional tests that
need user intervention.
The "Test Overview Test Sequence" represents a test sequence which also can be
used to complete a DUT test. By default, this test sequence contains the tests of the
"Master Test Sequence" and the "Master Test Sequence Appendix". A test can be
added to or removed from "Test Overview Test Sequence", respectively, by means of
the "Test Overview panel".
4.1 Performing the Master Test Sequence
To start the Master Test Sequence:
1. Use the "Master Test Sequence" command of the menu bar.
2. Click the "Start Master Test Sequence" button of the toolbar.
3. Right click on the "Master Test Sequence" and use the "Execute" command from
the context menu.
4. Left double click on the "Master Test Sequence".

R&S TM G5 Interrupting and Aborting a Test Sequence
Continuing the Master Test Sequence (Appendix)
6 Interrupting and Aborting a Test Sequence
For interrupting and aborting a running test sequence the Interrupt Panel is used.
► Use one of the termination buttons which are available during a running test
sequence.
The "Terminate" button completely aborts the execution of the current test sequence.
The "Interrupt" button pauses the execution of the current test.
The "Next Test" button terminates the current test, but will allow execution of the rest of
the test sequence by starting the next test
6.1 Continuing the Master Test Sequence (Appendix)
If a test sequence has been aborted, some tests will remain untested, as can be seen
in the test sequence overview below. In this example the test T20: [A] Harmonics
/ Subharmonics was the last completed test. During the test T77: [A]
Nonharmonics systematic (+B22) the execution was aborted. The aborted test
is marked with a stop sign.

R&S TM G5 Interrupting and Aborting a Test Sequence
The "Execute (Complete)" command also continues the Master Test Sequence or
Master Test Sequence Appendix starting with the selected test or test sequence.
However, if the Master Test Sequence or Master Test Sequence Appendix end is
reached the test sequence restarts. All tests and test sequences are executed until the
previously selected test or test sequence is reached.
Continuing the Master Test Sequence (Appendix)
► Right click on the "Test Sequence" tab and use the "Execute (Remaining)"
command from the context menu to continue the "Master Test Sequence" or the
"Master Test Sequence Appendix", starting with the selected test or test sequence.

R&S TM G5 Transferring Measurement Files
The transfer of a completed measurement file to the repository should be the last
action for a DUT. Therefore, after a successful transfer the original measurement file
will be removed from the measurement file directory.
Automatic Transfer
8 Transferring Measurement Files
Measurement files are stored on the local drive in the measurement file directory which
is a sub-directory of the Test Program directory.
The measurement file name is built of the material and serial number of the DUT as
well the test conditions. This storage system may lead to a problem if the DUT test is
completed and the state of all tests is PASS. If the same DUT is retested, e.g. after
repair or for re-calibration, the results will be overwritten. Therefore, the measurement
file name must be unique.
The TM G5 provides a mechanism to rename the measurement file names.
Additionally, this mechanism compresses the measurement file and moves the file to
the Measurement File Repository. This compressing, renaming and moving procedure
is called Measurement File Transfer.
To make the file handling more safe and comfortable, an automatic transfer
mechanism is implemented within the TM G5. Measurement files which are found as
completed can be transferred to the repository automatically.
8.1 Automatic Transfer
By default a measurement file will be transferred automatically to the Measurement
File Repository if the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The Measurement File Repository has been defined.
- The Automatic Transfer mechanism has been switched on.
- All of the required tests for the current DUT have been executed, see
4.1 "Performing the Master Test Sequence".
- All of the executed tests have a PASS status.
- The front page data have been entered, see section 4.4 "Filling in Test Report
Front Page Data".

R&S TM G5 Transferring Measurement Files
Manual Transfer
8.2 Manual Transfer
A measurement file can also be transferred manually, if the preconditions for an
automatic transfer (see section 8.1 "Automatic Transfer") are not fulfilled or the
automatic transfer is switched off.
One reason to transfer a measurement file manually might be that not all DUT tests
have been completed.
1. Open a Test Report (see chapter 7 "Printing of the current Customer Test Report").
2. Use the "Transfer" button of the Test Report toolbar to transfer the current
measurement.
3. Confirm the query.
