Test definition

 

 

 

 

This step makes it possible to define the main parameters of the test such as the chosen protocol or the animal used.

 

You can define your own settings ( User Fields ) to record additional information about each test. For example: the time elapsed after the treatment, the weight of the animal during the test, its state of health, etc...

You can also plan the next step by indicating the planned check-in date. In this case, the test will automatically appear a few days before the scheduled date in the list of tests to be performed in the main Experiment view .

Normally, it is advisable to let Ethotrack generate the tests automatically based on the stages and trials defined in the protocol. If your experience requires it, it is possible to add tests manually to those automatically generated by Ethotrack, or to disable the automatic generation function and create the tests manually.
