General
CPC Editor is an optionally available PC-based software program.
It is used for offline test preparation, that is to set up single test cards and/or
entire tests with all of their test-specific settings on a PC, independent from the
availability of a
CPC 100 .
The prepared test file (.xml file
1
) is then uploaded to CPC 100 using
CPC Explorer (refer to ”Uploading files from your PC to CPC 100” on page 13-
12). Therefore, CPC Editor requires an installation of CPC Explorer .
CPC Editor also opens executed and assessed test files that were downloaded
from CPC 100 to your computer to view them, edit them, and, if required, save
them on your computer’s hard disk.
Additionally, a test file can be saved as test procedure template, that is a user-
defined template containing one or more test cards with all of their specific test
settings. To learn more about templates in general, please refer to ”Creating
Defaults and Templates” on page 2-42.
1. An .xml file is a test with all of its test cards and specific settings. It may also contain test results
and assessments that were stored together with the settings as report in the CPC 100 file
system for archiving purposes.
