English term

to present equipment

English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Context: a brochure about warranty conditions offered by a manufacturer of cabling systems.
In one of the sections, about testing, it says:

‘’Fibre Optic Link
- Tier 1 certification must be completed and submitted for each fibre link. Each fibre core shall be tested in each direction and the results combined if stored electronically.
- Test equipment that stores the results electronically shall be presented in the manufacturers format.
- Where test equipment tests against a specific standard, care shall be taken to ensure that the correct one is selected.
- Details of the construction and core count of the fibre cable are needed.
- Results can be submitted on a manual link loss sheet or files from the tester used.’’


‘’Test equipment that stores…. shall be presented in the manufacturer’s format’’ – I don’t understand what ‘’presented’’ means in this context.

Let me put it this way:
I understand what ‘’to present test data’’ in the manufacturer’s format means, but I don’t understand what ‘’to present equipment’’ means.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thank you Tony

Poorly written Well, I can see your problem, and I'd say it's because it's very poorly written; try interpreting it like this, it may help:

"[When using] test equipment that stores the results electronically, [the test results] shall be presented in the manufacturer's format."

Selected

to present test results

Probably the original sentence said, for example:
Test equipment that stores the results electronically shall present them in the manufacturers format.
or
The results stored electronically by/in (the) test equipment shall be presented in the manufacturers format.

Somebody could try to change the wording but did so only in a part of the sentence - maybe something distracted him/her for a while when he/she was half way. Such things happen quite often.

In the original it also says:

Results to be submitted in the original tester format

agree jccantrell : I agree here. They are saying that the results should not be manipulated by any other formatting system.
