GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English term or phrase: to present equipment
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.

Explanation:
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
