Testing Scenario

Unless otherwise stated it is assumed that the APT software has been properly installed on the test platform, a functioning network connection exists, and the required servers are operational. It is also assumed that the VTT preferences are set to specify the GSC as the default Catalog, the DSS as the default image database, and to display the cursor pixel position, data value, and coordinates in the status bar.

Note: An asterisk (*) following the test indicates a screenshot is available at the end of the document.
