Change  allows the user to switch to other programs installed in the DISplus without returning to the DIS start screen.

Some programs cannot be entered until the task in the current program is finished (i.e. coding completed before returning to diagnosis).

The End  function offers the user several options for stopping a current running program.

• Break  allows the program to be paused or interrupted without losing any information or stored data about the currently running test module. The data may be stored on a floppy disc or the hard drive and can be recalled by selecting the Job  button from the Diagnosis start menu.
