Calibration Test Mode

Calibration Test Modes are custom tests you create to run on the FieldLab Pressure to test the accuracy of other pressure devices. You can create as many Calibration Tests as you need for each DUT (Device Under Test) you need to keep calibrated.

You can then import the data from your tests to FieldLab Desktop, and export it for use in other applications.
- Calibration Test Settings Overview
  
  Introduction to the Calibration Test screen in FieldLab Desktop. Create and edit the custom Calibration Test you need.
- Create a new Calibration Test Mode
  
  Create custom Calibration Tests to test the accuracy of any analog or digital pressure device.
- Run a Calibration Test with a FieldLab
  
  Use a FieldLab to test the accuracy of another device. Step-by-step instructions below. You can also watch a video demonstration here.
- Run a Calibration Test from your computer
  
  Calibration Tests can be run right from your computer with Benchtop Calibration.
- Speed up your Benchtop Calibration tests by using keyboard shortcuts
  
  Make your benchtop calibration tests go even faster by using keyboard shortcuts to log each point and advance to the next point.
Data Logging Test

Data Logging Tests are Test Modes designed to record pressure data. For each Data Logging Test you create, you can customize the name, assign the Engineering Units, Logging Interval, Session Duration, and Power Settings to conserve battery life as needed.
- Data Logging Test Settings Overview
  
  Introduction to the Data Logging Test Modes screen in FieldLab Desktop. Create and edit the custom Data Logging Test you need.
- Create a new Data Logging Test Mode
  
  Create a test mode that logs data according to your customized settings including Units, Logging Interval, and Session Duration. You can also create custom power management settings that apply only when your custom Data Logging Test Mode is running.
- Set Logging Interval: Data Logging Test
  
  Learn how to customize the Logging Interval of a Data Logging Test.
- Change Display Sleep: Data Logging Test
  
  When you Activate a Test Mode on the FieldLab, the settings for that Test Mode will apply to the FieldLab as long as that Test Mode is active. Each Test Mode has its own Auto Display Sleep settings.
  
  You can use FieldLab Desktop to adjust the length of time before the screen display turns off to conserve battery life.
- Auto Backlight Off: Data Logging Test
  
  Use FieldLab Desktop to control the amount of time that the backlight stays on before shutting off automatically to conserve battery life.
  
  Each Test Mode has its own settings. When you Activate a Test Mode on the FieldLab, whatever the settings are for in that Test Mode will apply to the FieldLab as long as that Test Mode is active.

- Create a High Speed Data Logging Test Mode
  
  Use a FieldLab to log pressure at up to 128 times per second.
Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) / Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) Test Mode

FieldLab allows you to eliminate paperwork and reduce mistakes with an all-digital PSV/PRV Test workflow. Record the exact pressure at which a valve cracks & reseats, and use the test data to create detailed reports for each valve tested.
- Create a New PSV/PRV Test Mode
  
  Learn how to create a PSV/PRV Test Mode and the available settings and options to include in the test.
- PSV/PRV Test Settings Overview
  
  Quick overview of the PSV/PRV Test Modes settings screen in FieldLab Desktop.
- Run a PSV/PRV Test with auto crack detection
  
  Use the FieldLab to automatically detect & record the exact pressure at which a valve cracks and reseats, with the additional option of recording Seat Tightness Test results.
- Run a pressure relief valve test, manually log crack and reseat.
  
  Designed for testing valves that require a technician's expertise to determine the exact pressure at which the valve cracks.
  
  Ideal for scenarios where the crack is determined when the first steady stream, or first continuous flow, of liquid media begins to emerge from the valve.
Manual Mode

Manual Mode is the default Test Mode that comes pre-installed on the FieldLab.
- Logging Interval: Manual Mode
  
  Use FieldLab Desktop to adjust the length of time between each point logged.
  
  Each Test Mode has its own Logging Interval settings. When you Activate a Test Mode on the FieldLab, whatever the settings are in that Test Mode will apply to the FieldLab as long as that Test Mode is active.
- Auto Display Sleep: Manual Mode
  
  Use FieldLab Desktop to adjust the length of time before the screen display turns off to conserve battery life.
  
  Each Test Mode, including Manual Mode, has its own Auto Display Sleep settings. When you Activate a Test Mode on the FieldLab, the settings for that Test Mode will apply to the FieldLab as long as that Test Mode is active.
- Auto Backlight Off: Manual Mode
  
  Use FieldLab Desktop to control the amount of time that the backlight stays on before shutting off automatically to conserve battery life.
  
  Each Test Mode has its own Auto Backlight Off settings. When you Activate a Test Mode on the FieldLab, whatever the settings are for in that Test Mode will apply to the FieldLab as long as that Test Mode is active.
- Auto Power Off: Manual Mode
  
  Use FieldLab Desktop to adjust the length of time before the FieldLab automatically Powers Off off to conserve battery life.
  
  Each Test Mode, including Manual Mode, has its own Auto Power Off settings. When you Activate a Test Mode on the FieldLab, the settings for that Test Mode will apply to the FieldLab as long as that Test Mode is active.
