Tester
Basics
Adapter Signatures
Each Adapter has an Adapter
Signature. The tester uses the
Adapter Signature to identify the
adapter and ensure the test setup is
correct.
For example:
W
hen you retrieve a previously created
test, the tester can show you the
positions and signatures of the adapters
required for the test.
The Loaded Test Program and other Memory Locations
When you turn on the 1100R+ tester,
the Cable Signature of the loaded test
is displayed on the main screen.
The loaded test changes whenever you:

Learn a new cable

Retrieve a test from memory
In addition to the loaded test program, the tester can store 99 test programs in its memory.
For example, this screen shows that
test programs have been stored in
memory locations 4, 5, and 6.
Pins, Nets, and Net Lists
The word pin is used generically in this manual and in the tester interface to describe an
individual contact or terminal in a connector.
An interconnection between two or more pins in a cable is called a net. When the tester learns a
cable, it assigns each net in the cable a net number.
All of the nets for a cable make up a net list. In some Cirris products the term wire list is used
interchangeably with the term net list.

TEST: 1B4137-4Z020
The tester can recognize
the Adapter Signature
because of jumpers on the
adapter pc board. Because
of these jumpers the tester
also knows the correct pin
numbers on the adapter
connector.
