Downloading Updates and Changing the Language
All 1100R+ testers come with the newest version of tester software when purchased; however, new
software is released regularly. You can connect a computer to the tester using the serial port that
comes with the CTLWIN kit, and use the 1100 Upgrade Application to update the tester software.
This application can also be used to change the tester interface language if needed. English and
Spanish are currently available; other languages may be available in the future. For more
information, see
“1100 Upgrade Application”
on page 62.
Security
When using your 1100R+, you may see a lock symbol next to a menu selection.
This symbol indicates the selection cannot be changed. By connecting a
computer to the tester, you can choose to lock or unlock certain menu
selections. This capability might be used if, for example, you wanted to keep
operators from creating new Test Programs or from changing the tester settings.
For more information, see
“1100 Utilities Application” on page 63.
