13.8.2.5-2 Direct Interpretation of Test Results

Messages provided by test equipment should require a minimum amount of interpretation.

Additional Information:
Messages provided by test equipment should not use abbreviations, contractions, or numeric codes. Conversion tables should not be needed to determine whether the equipment is within tolerances. Test equipment that requires maintenance personnel to read codes and then look up the code on a table to obtain an explanation are susceptible to errors in reading, recording, and looking up the codes.
