2. Tap on Create result at the bottom of the screen

Create a new result (which overwrites the existing one)

On the FTB and MaxTester

You can also execute a multitude of tests in jobs on your FTB and MaxTester platform, depending on the model and modules installed.

p  Most “optical” test applications already support jobs on both platforms.
