Welcome to Dynalab
Thank you for selecting Dynalab Test Systems. The NX Tester is designed to run as a standalone wire
harness tester without a constant connection to a computer. Programs are created with the NX Editor
software application, then transferred to the NX Tester.
This User’s Guide describes the NX Tester’s user interface, hardware configuration, and interfacing.
Please refer to the
NX System Getting Started Guide
to learn how to quickly set up the NX Tester and
write a functional test program. Detailed information about how to write test programs is available in
the
NX Editor User’s Guide
.
