Registration of Box Data

Each box allows you to register the following data:

– Work Order
– Serial Number
– Part Number

Boxes with correctly filled data appear with “white” icons.
Boxes without information filled appear in “orange“.
Note: The link (PDF icon) to Test Report for the boxes is only visible and accessible for boxes with correctly filled data and only for tests with “Completed” or “Error” status.
It is not possible to access the report for tests with “StandBy” or “In Progress” status.

Starting a Test

In the Dashboard Panel, the commands will be visible in the right top.
In order to start a new test and enable the command buttons, the following conditions must be satisfied:

  • The Test Device and the Oven must be turned on and connected to the Internet so they will be detected as Online.
  • No other tests can be running on the same selected Test Device.
  • Comparison between the boxes detected by the Test Device and the boxes selected for the test must be the same. Example: If only box 1 is selected for testing, the Test Device must detect only box 1. The others must be turned off or disconnected.
  • The module cannot report any internal errors or failures in communication with the oven.

If the Test Start button is not visible, check if any of the conditions are different.
