Further - I have extracted the text from the UUT Test Disk image (using 
SAMdisk - https://simonowen.com/samdisk/ ), it is written in TL/1 
language, and I have uploaded that raw extract to:

https://www.flippers.com/public_ftp/flip/public/TTL/TestEquipment/Fluke/9100%20Series/9100_Fixture_PDFs/9100-UUT_TEST_DISK.TXT

It is not a perfect extraction, and I suspect there are some errors, 
hopefully folks here who may be interested are more familiar with TL/1 
and can tidy it up further.

Here is the description of the tests on the UUT disk:

!! auto_learn -- AUTOTEST and LEARN
!! ================================
!!
!! This program provides a LEARN and AUTOTEST capability similar to the
!! FLUKE 9010A.  This program provides a softkey driven user interface
!! to invoke the learn algorithm (a seperate program "DO_LRN" (copyrighted))
!! and to test the resulting learned descriptors.  Additionally, it provides
!! a facility to view the learned descriptors and to add additional ones.
!! The learned descriptors are stored in a local text file named 
"LEARN_INFO".
!!
!! Note:  since TL/1 does not have access to pod space information, when a
!! LEARN is performed it uses the address space active when this program
!! (AUTO_LEARN) is invoked and stores it with each descriptor.
