Navigate in the Fluke Interface

Using the Fluke Interface, you can perform a wide range of tasks such as sending assets to a device from the TMS application, retrieving test results from a device, or processing a MUP or MTR table.

The availability of the medTester-specific and Ansur-specific menu items and buttons is dependent on what functionality your TMS database is licensed for.

The Main Bar

There are four menus in the menu bar. From left to right: File, Query, Tools, and Help.
