5 Operation Overview
The Advanced Cable Tester v2 was designed with the factory in mind. Once con
fi
gured,
the tester is designed to initiate a cable test as soon as a cable insertion is detected.
After the test is complete, once the cable is removed from the Advanced Cable Tester v2,
it is ready to start a test as soon as the next cable is installed.
In order to better understand the operation of the Advanced Cable Tester v2, please
consider following state diagram in Figure 11.

When the tester
fi
rst boots up, it will be in the
Not Ready
state. In this state, the
Advanced Cable Tester v2 requires an operator to con
fi
gure the tester to be ready for a
test. There are a number of actions that are needed to move to the next state:
1. A valid connector module must be correctly installed in the Advanced Cable Tester
v2,
2. a test pro
fi
le that matches the module must be selected by an operator, and
3. some test pro
fi
les require additional information that must be entered by an
operator and will be saved in the test report for better tracking. For example, some
pro
fi
les require "SKU" and "Customer" information.
