5.0 Using the Interactive Insulator Tester & Software
The Universal Insulator Tester and Tablet/Laptop are used together in the field. The Ground
Operator controls the Tablet/Laptop running the Windows-based Insulator Software while the
Tower Operator controls the Universal Insulator Tester and scans the insulator string.
After a scan of an insulator, the Ground Operator can instantly download the resulting data
obtained by the Tower Operator. Once downloaded, the Ground Operator can view the E-field
profile of the scanned insulator on the screen of the Tablet/Laptop and the relative health of the
insulator can be assessed while in the field.
Using the Tablet/Laptop, the Ground Operator can choose to Accept or Reject the scan. In both
cases, once a choice has been made by the Ground Operator the data in the Probe is erased. If
the choice is made to
Accept the scan, the data is stored on the Tablet/Laptop
