Application of PC Software
Individual test structures can be created at the PC with the
included software. This structure makes it possible to assign
measurements to the objectes and strings of different units and
buildings. For use at the construction site, the respective test
structures are first transferred to the test instrument via the USB
interface. After performing the measurements, the test instrument
is read out and the structures are represented together with the
measured values in tabular form.
