While working through the Quick Start Tutorial (chapter 2), you may have
noticed that the dialogue box for the test R - Winding Resistance - contained a
button labeled ‘Measure’.
In fact, most tests have a Measure button within the dialogue box. It is
included there to allow you to fill in various fields in the dialogue box by using
the AT to measure the value from a sample transformer.
All tests with a Measure button will allow you to enter a value into the test limits
section of the dialogue box.
In addition, some tests can also make use of the Measure button to select the
test conditions. The programming details for each test in section 7 "Tests and
Test Conditions" specify which tests allow the Measure button to enter the test
parameter values.

Before attempting to use the Measure button:
1. Make sure you have connected your tester's Auxiliary Port (on the
rear panel) to a suitable COM Port on your PC. (This may be COM
Port 2, if your mouse is already using COM Port 1.)
2. Set up the COM Port on the PC.
From the top-level menu, select:
Setup > Communications
In the dialogue box, select the PC
communications port that is
connected to the transformer tester.
WARNING: If the chosen ‘COM’ port is reserved by another
Windows application, an error message will appear. You should
select another port.
3. Fit the appropriate fixture to the tester.
