Test sequences Free Pro

Every point, in order: guided test sequences with pass/fail

Define the points of a procedure once, then run it: each reading is captured with one tap or hands-free, checked against its limits at capture, and kept in a test file Pro. Reports follow from the test file.

iOS and Android, beta this winter.

Build the template once

A template holds the steps, groups, limits and the metadata you want to record on every run, such as a serial number Pro. Steps can be measurements, Pass/Fail/N/A checks, typed values or calculated values. One step can be measured across 2–500 identical channels, and a template holds up to 2,000 steps, counting channels. Building your own templates is Pro, a one-time purchase; see Pricing. See Template builder.

Import a pin table

Paste a pin table or open a CSV, TSV, TXT or Excel file, map the columns and preview the first 20 steps. Up to 2,000 rows come in as one template Pro. See Pin-table import.

Pass or fail, at capture

Every step can carry limits: a range, a minimum, a maximum, a nominal with a tolerance, or an expected open circuit. The result badge appears the moment the reading is captured, with the reason on the step card Pro. See Pass/fail limits.

Run it point by point

A run steps through the points in order, with a rail of every position and a Capture & next button. After a short result dwell, 600 ms by default, it advances to the next pending point. Capture can also fire by itself when the reading is steady. You can redo, skip, go back, type a value or add a note, photo or voice note. A run survives a crash or a dead battery. Running the starter and shared templates is free, with no limit; running your own templates is part of Pro. See Guided runs and Auto-capture.

Finish, then share

The summary shows PASS, FAIL or INCOMPLETE, counts per group, and the failed and not-done steps to go back to. Starting the next unit with the metadata carried over, or amending a finished test file as a new revision, is Pro Pro. Templates (.tnmt) and complete test files (.tnmr) are shared as files, and the apps open them for free. The ten starter templates are free. See Summary, next unit and amend, Starter templates and Share templates and test files.

From the test file to a report

A finished run is a test file you can open any time in the Records tab. CSV, Excel and PDF exports are free; your company header on reports is Pro. See Reports and export. Formulas can compute values inside a run; see Calculator. To try a template without a meter, see Meters.

  • Auto-capture

    Capture fires on a steady reading, needs a probe lift before the next one, and can follow the meter's HOLD.

    More: Auto-capture

  • Summary and amend

    A PASS, FAIL or INCOMPLETE summary, next unit with the serial advanced, and amended revisions that keep the history.

  • Share templates and files

    Send a procedure as .tnmt or a complete test file as .tnmr; the apps import both for free.

Not yet, or not planned

  • No teams, shared libraries or reviewer sign-off; not planned for v1.
  • No automatic template creation from an arbitrary spreadsheet; use the pin-table import.
  • Template steps don't nest groups.
  • No voice commands ("next", "redo").
  • No watch or hardware-button remote capture.
  • A test file is your record, not a certification.
  • No real-time shared editing or comments.

Questions

Do I need Pro to run a test?

Not for the starter templates or templates other people send you: you can run those as often as you like. Pro is for building and running your own templates. It is a one-time purchase that never expires; see Pricing.

Can a colleague run my template without Pro?

Yes. They can open a .tnmt file in the app for free, look through every step and run it as often as they like. Creating or editing templates needs Pro.

Is a test file a certificate?

No. A test file is your record, not a certification. It holds the readings, limits, results and notes you captured.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Templates, test runs and every export work without a network. You only need a connection to sign in, use Cloud sync or the web app, or make a purchase.

Coming to iPhone and Android.

iOS and Android, beta this winter.
