16.1 Creating Distributor Structures, General
A complete distributor structure with data for electrical circuits
and RCDs can be created in the PROFITEST MASTER test instru-
ment.
This structure makes it possible to assign measurements to the
electrical circuits of various distributors, buildings and customers.
There are two possible procedures:
• On location or at the
construction site:
Create the distributor
structure in the test
instrument.
A distributor struc-
ture with up to
50,000 structural
elements can be
created in the test
instrument, which is
saved to the instru-
ment’s flash mem-
ory.
or
• Create and save an image of an existing distributor structure
at a PC with the help of ETC report generating software (Electric
Testing Center) (see condensed operating instructions for ETC
report generating software). The distributor structure is then
transferred to the test instrument.
Note regarding ETC Report Generating Software
The following steps must be completed before using the soft-
ware:
• Install USB device drivers:
(required for operation of PROFITEST MASTER with a PC)

16.2 Transferring Distributor Structures
The following data transfer operations are possible:
• Transfer a distributor structure from the PC to the test instru-
ment.
• Transfer a distributor structure including measured values
from the test instrument to the PC.
The test instrument and
the PC must be con-
nected with a USB cable
in order to transfer dis-
tributor structures and
data.
The following image
appears at the display
during transfer of struc-
tures and data.
