Operating Instructions
When a previously stored FFT trace is loaded, the FFT trace is automatically re-calculated
during loading. This calculation may take several seconds.
Storage space
The CT100 has a large storage space, capable of holding thousands of trace scans. However,
with continued use, CT100 storage will eventually fill up. Periodically, an effort should be
made to clear stored traces from the device and free up storage space.
Backing up traces
The CT100 ships with an installation CD for the CT Viewer™ software for Windows. Using
either a USB or an Ethernet connection, the CT100 can transfer stored scans to CT
Viewer™. These scans are then stored in the Windows computer for later retrieval, review,
e-mail, and analysis. See the CT Viewer™ manual for details.
Deleting traces
Once scans are backed up to a computer, they can be deleted from the CT100 either
through the CT Viewer™ software or directly as follows.
1) Press the LIBRARY button to open the Library menu.
2) Select Cable Records. A scroll dialog appears, showing all saved trace scans.
3) Highlight specific traces for deletion using the Toggle Selected option or select them all
with the Mark All option.
4) Select the Delete option. You will have to confirm the deletion.
Freeing up space
Deleting traces is the first step to clearing disk space, but the space is not freed until a
clean shutdown is ordered from the Power Button menu.
1) Press the blue MENU button. The Main menu appears.
2) Select Diagnostics. The Diagnostics menu appears.
3) Select Database. The Database menu appears.
4) Select Clean Shutdown. The CT100 will now free up space that was used by deleted
traces. Do not turn off the CT100 when using clean shutdown. The CT100 will shut
itself down when it is safe to do so.
CAUTION: Switching off power during a clean shutdown could damage the
instrument.
