6. CT Viewer
The CT Viewer™ 2 computer software for Windows desktop allows users of the MOHR CT100B
TDR Cable Analyzer to transfer, view, and manipulate cable scans that have been saved on their
instruments. This software package allows the user to select scans from a stored database that can
contain thousands of scans and compare, subtract, or find the first derivative of any of the traces.
This software package will also allow the user to create reports and print plots that can be
imported into Microsoft® Word® or other word-processing or report creation software to create
files of traces suitable for transfer to others and to load trace files created by others.
This section covers how to transfer saved TDR traces to CT Viewer 2. For more detailed
information on installing and using CT Viewer 2, please see the CT Viewer 2 Quick User Guide.
