Introduction2 - 17How to Use the CPC 100 SoftwareNote: This manual refers to the CPC 100 software version V 1.41.Information about the software version of your CPC 100 can be foundat the Options tab System Info (refer to ”System Info” on page 41 ofthis chapter).This section provides an overview of the front panel control components,explains in detail how to navigate with them through the software, how to set upa test, execute it, save it for later use, etc.The subsequent chapters (Quick, CT, VT, Resistance, Transformer...),explaining the various test procedures from a more practice-orientated point ofview, are confined to test-relevant issues, and assume that you have read andunderstood this section.The principles of test cards and test procedures• Test cardsThe CPC 100 software comprises a number of test cards. A test card carriesout one specific test, for example, measuring a CT excitation curve, or testingthe ratio of a voltage transformer.A test card holds a number of user-definable test settings and - after the testwas run - test results.• Test card defaultRather than repeatedly filling out blank test cards with frequently usedsettings, any test card with its actual settings can be made a test carddefault for that particular type of card, for example, filling out a CTRatioV testcard with certain values and pressing S A V E A S D E F A U L T makes this cardthe new CTRatioV test card default.Each card of this type that will later be inserted to a test procedure willalready hold these new settings.Note: A test card default contains user-defined settings, not test results.)
