CTLWIN

Using CTLWIN

Included with your tester is the CTLWIN kit. This kit includes a

software install disks and a PC interface cable.

CTLWIN is a PC Windows program that allows you to access

Test Programs in the tester’s memory. Using CTLWIN you can:

1. Copy Test Programs from the 1100R+ memory to the

computer.

2. Edit, create, and organize Test Programs on the computer.

3. Copy Test Programs from the computer to an 1100R+ Tester.

Common Uses for CTLWIN

Backup Tester Memory

Test programs in the 1100R+ memory are stored in flash memory. To ensure you never lose

the Test Programs in memory, you can use CTLWIN to backup the test programs onto a

computer.

Copy Test Programs

If you have multiple 1100R+ testers, you can create a test program on any tester and then use

CTLWIN to copy the same test program to other testers.

Replace Cable Signatures with Cable

Descriptions

Using CTLWIN, you can replace the Cable

Signature with your own cable description up to 16

characters. For example, you could use a part

number, customer initials, or the cable name.

Replace Default Point Labels with Custom

Point Labels (Test Point Labeling)

Using CTLWIN you can create custom point labels

to reflect actual point names, wire colors, or other

assembly instructions. Custom point labels may

be up to 16 characters long.

Edit Component Values and Tolerances

The 1100R+ is capable of testing diodes, resistors and capacitors. When these components

are learned, the 1100R+ measures the value and automatically sets a 10% default tolerance.

Using CTLWIN, you can edit the component value and the tolerance.

Create Links and Component Definitions

If the tester senses a component, but cannot identify the component as a resistor, diode, or

capacitor, the tester creates a “link” in the test program. In some cases a technician can use

CTLWIN to change a link to the appropriate component command. For more information see

What Type of Components are Learned and Tested on page 36 and Links on page 37.
