3 - Setting Up the Test
18
ñ Selecting New From Template opens a dialog box that lets you select a template file which
contains previously-configured test setup information. This template information will be copied
into your new data file. The template itself is not changed unless you make subsequent changes
to your setup and save them into the template using “Save as Template.”. When you run the test,
the test data will then be added to the information obtained from the template. You can modify
the template defaults and set up data as required for the new test or use the values supplied by the
template. The following file extensions are used to identify template files:
.stt template files for quasi-stationary harmonic tests
.flt template files for fluctuating harmonic tests
.fkt template files for voltage fluctuation tests
The default directory for template files is C:\hfts\template
ñ Selecting Open Existing File opens a dialog box that lets you select a data file which contains
setup information and may or may not contain pre-test as well as test data. This lets you examine
previously run test data or replace old test data with data obtained from a new test run. The
following file extensions are used to identify data files:
.sta data files for quasi-stationary harmonic tests
.flu data files for fluctuating harmonic tests
.flk data files for voltage fluctuation tests
The default directory for data files is C:\hfts
Note Running a pre-test or a test after opening an existing file will cause all existing data to be
overwritten with new data. You can prevent this from occurring by checking the Make
test data read-only option in the Test window before running a test, or by using the
Lock Test File command in the File menu.
