Operation
The Manual Input program is a driver that behaves like other Field
Test 4 drivers. The difference is that it waits for user input to log each
“measurement”. As soon as the Save to Database key is selected the
entered value(s) are saved in the measurement database together with
optional values computed from the entered values.
Computations based on each group of user inputs can be added to the
measurement database. These computations include:
1. Average of the user group input.
2. Average less min value less max value of the user group
input.
3. Maximum value from the user group inputs.
4. Minimum value from the user group inputs.
5. Standard Deviation of the user group inputs.

<Name>.REC File
The number of inputs and names associated with each numeric entry
are controlled by settings in a <name>.REC file associated with the
ManIn.EXE driver. The <name>.REC file contains five sections.
[Compatibility] Section
The [Compatibility] section contains the following entries and should
not be changed.
[Compatibility]
File Version=5
File Version 6=True
driver=ManIn.exe
Note: In the [DB Field List] section, inputs from the first group must
be listed first followed by any calculation fields based upon
the first group. The second group of inputs are listed next
followed by any calculation fields based upon the second
group.
ManIn_exmpl.REC
Following is an example of a <Name>.REC file for the ManIn.EXE
driver. Note the relationship between the parameters in this file and
the Value Entry dialog box in the next section.
For each entry in the [DB Field List] section there is a corresponding
field in the measurement database for the project.

Value Entry Dialog Box
The value entry dialog box is the method for entering data into the
measurement database. Values for a data point are entered into the
text boxes then select the Save Data control to save the values into the
measurement database.
Note the frame labels are the Group names in the ManIn_exmpl.REC
file shown in the previous section. Also, text box labels are the
Parameter names in the .REC file.
Note: Empty fields for any of the named input values in any
measurement will be ignored by Field Test 6 as if they did not exist.
Notes when using the ManIn.EXE driver for Indoor Tests:
1. In the Test Mode box choose the Single option.
2. Select the Start Receiver control then the Save Data control on
the Value Entry dialog box once to initialize the Indoor Test
process.
3. Be sure waypoint 1 is green and you are at that location.
4. Select Start Acq the Value Entry dialog will appear.
5. Enter the data into the Value Entry dialog box. Then select its
Save Data control.
6. Select the Save Buffer control to save the data to the database.
7. Move to the next, green waypoint location and select Start Acq
for the next data entry.
8. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for all of the waypoint locations.
9. Select Stop Receiver to stop the measurement process.
