French term or phrase: L\'indicateur d\'essai à 1
Again, apologies if this is too simple or obvious a query.
Does this mean something like "first attempt indicator"? (it's the "à 1" bit that's fazing me here).

Test flag set to 1
Explanation:
I think this is a 'flag' that has to be set to indicate something is a test: so if it is '0', it's a real doc, but if it is '1' it's only a test.

'à 1' needs to read as '@ 1' or 'set at 1'

Of course, this is presumably talking about some software at program level; to the user, we would perceive 1 as 'on' and 0 as 'off'.
