SHORT FOREWORD 

 
Dear CBA1000 user, 
 
I often wondered why the user’s manual is not very much used, even if it includes valuable information. 
As me too I am a user of such manuals, the answer I have given myself is that valuable information are 
concealed somewhere in the thick thing, and I do not have time to waste to find it. So, either the manual 
is actually of help, or I ignore it. 
 
This is why I decided to split the CBA1000 manual in three: specification, with all performance details; 
introductory guide, with the device description; application manual, with instructions about how to use 
it  one  its  operation  is  understood.  The  idea  is  that  you  may  read  once  the  introductory  guide  or  the 
specification, while you need to follow application examples more than once; so, why not to split the 
manual in three? 
 
This manual is the introduction to the test set; it includes also a troubleshooting guide. 
 
Have a good work with CBA1000!
