Introduction - 3
Test Cards
The
CPC 100
software comprises a number of test cards. A test card carries out one specific
test, e.g., measuring a CT excitation curve, or testing the ratio of a voltage transformer.
A test card holds a number of user-definable test settings and - after the test was run - test
results.
Test Procedure
A test procedure contains multiple test cards.
The composition of such a test procedure and the settings of all single test cards can be freely
defined by the user. Within a test procedure, each test card and its associated test is executed
individually in a user-defined order.
Report
For archiving or reporting purposes, or later processing, a test procedure with all of its test cards,
specific settings and - after the test was run - test results and assessments can be saved. It is
then considered a report.
Such a report can later be opened any time in the
CPC 100
’s
File Operations
menu.
Note:
For detailed information about test cards, test procedures and templates, refer to section
“How to Use The CPC 100 Software” of chapter “Introduction” in the CPC 100 Reference

Focus on the data entry field for AC current.
The term “focus” designates the currently selected (active) part of the test card. The selected
component is highlighted or inverted.
The actual function of the context-dependent
menu keys depends on the selected view, test
mode, test card and selected test card
component (i.e., the focus).
Temperature and power consumption
monitoring.
If an output is activated, both the
CPC 100
’s
power consumption and the current emitted at
the high-current outputs is monitored and,
together with the temperature, displayed by this
temperature gauge.
The temperature gauge’s bar therewith
represents an indicator for the remaining time
the
CPC 100
can output power.

Status of test assessment. The test
assessment is a manual procedure carried
out by the user. After the test, set the focus
on the assessment symbol. Use the context-
dependent menu key
OK
or
Failed
to assess
the test.
For a few seconds, the status line also
displays general operation information, e.g.
“Emergency key pressed”.
Pressing the
Settings
menu key opens the
Settings
page (see page Quick-1) allowing you to
set the test cards individually. As a rule, do not set the test cards on the
Settings
page but set
all test cards of a test procedure using the
Device Setup
tab in the
Options
view (see page
Introduction-5).
