ES601-US OPERATING MANUALManual Testing/Chapter 5 # Page 93The ESCAPE key may be pressed on any submenu to return to the main ECG menu. On the main ECGmenu, pressing ESCAPE returns the display to the MANUAL MODE menu.When manually operating the ECG Simulator via the prior menu system, it is not possible to save "ECGtest results" in the Clip Record. ECG test results can be obtained and saved to the Clip Record by runningan ECG AutoSequence as described in the ECG AutoSequence section of Chapter 6.5.16 Capturing Test TimeSome institutions require monitoring and recording of the time spent performing certain types of work. Thisrequirement is satisfied in part by a timer internal to ES601-US, which is started and stopped in response toactivity of the analyzer.When ES601-US is powered up, the "Test Time" counter is initially reset to zero and is inhibited fromcounting.When any measurement is selected from the menu, the timer is started if it is not currently running. Thetimer counts upward in elapsed seconds and has sufficient range to clock up to 18 hours. The timercontinues to run until a Test Record is saved. The "Test Time" is then saved in the Test Record along withthe measurement data.The actual time spent performing an assigned work task may be significantly greater than the time taken byES601-US to complete a series of measurements. To allow for this difference and to accurately capturelabor expenditure, automated tests such as Checklists and AutoSequences can be configured to prompt the userto enter the overall time spent performing a task. This "User Time" is input via the on-screen QWERTYkeypad, and is saved in the record in addition to the safety analyzer's "Test Time" and the measurementdata. Automated testing is covered in Chapter 6, and enabling of the prompt for "User Time" is described inSection 3.2.
