Audience
The course is intended for
Pre-requisites
Getting started with QESTLab
This module covers the process of starting and logging on to QESTLab, and a description of the main screen in QESTLab.
By the end of this module users will be able to start and log on to QESTLab, change their password, have an understanding of the main screen in QESTLab, and use the QESTLab tree to navigate the main areas of QESTLab.
Suggested duration: 45 minutes
Logging on
Concrete testing
This module covers the process of finding concrete specimens due for testing and entering the raw test data after testing.
By the end of this module users will be able to use a QESTLab filter to display concrete specimens due for testing on any day, and further restrict this search by sample ID and fieldsheet. They will then be able to enter raw test data for these specimens and produce strength and density results, and record which technician did the testing.
