Links
In some cases, the tester may sense the electrical characteristics of a component, but cannot
determine if the component is a resistor, diode, or capacitor. When this occurs, the tester
creates
a “link” in the test program. During the low voltage test, the tester assures the linked
points have a higher resistance than the Component Resistance Setting. Links may be created,
either automatically by the tester or by the technician setting up the test.
Links created automatically by the tester
When verifying a learned test program, a technician may recognize that the tester created links
in the test program’s net list. In some cases, the tester may have assigned a component a link
because it was o
utside the tester’s learn range. However, in some instances, the component
can still be effectively tested if the technician uses CTLWIN to edit the links assigned by the
tester.
For example, in order to speed the learn process for the majority of cables, the tester does not
learn component resistances higher than 100K

However, the tester does assign links to
resistors with values above 100K

and below the Low Voltage Insulation Resistance setting,
which can be set up to 5M

. If the tester creates a link for a resistance in the 100K

and 1M

range, the technician can use CTLWIN to replace the link with a resistance command; thereby,
allowing the tester to test the resistance value.
Links created by the technician
In some instances, the technician setting up the test program may need to use CTLWIN to
create links in the test program.
