6. CT Viewer
6.1.2. Send Saved Traces over USB
6.1.2.1. Set up USB Drivers on the Host Computer
The USB drivers need to be set up only once for each computer. The USB drivers for the CT100B
should have been installed with CT Viewer 2. It is possible to skip this step during the installation.
If the drivers aren’t installed, Windows will inform the user when the CT100B is connected over
USB.
6.1.2.2. Send the Traces
1. Start CT Viewer 2 and connect the computer to the CT100B with a standard USB type A to
USB type B cable. Connect to the USB type B port on the back of the CT100B.
2. Go to the File menu in CT Viewer 2 and select Open Tester. A screen will appear that will
show the serial number of the connected CT100B and a list of all traces saved on the CT100B.
3. Select a trace to transfer by clicking with the mouse. Select multiple traces by holding down
the Shift or Ctrl key while clicking with the mouse.
4. Select the Transfer To button to send the traces to CT Viewer 2. The traces will also be
loaded on the screen.
6.1.3. Send Saved Traces Using Ethernet
6.1.3.1. Set up Ethernet
In order to send traces over Ethernet to a computer, both the computer and the CT100B need to
be set up for the network. Depending on how your network is configured, the default settings for
the CT100B may work. If not, have your network administrator set up the network settings for the
CT100B and the computer.
The CT100B network settings are located at MENU → Settings → Network Settings. The CT100B
can get a configuration through DHCP, or it can be set up with Static Network Settings (see
Network Settings in Table 3.4: MENU Button and Menus).
6.1.3.2. Connect to CT Viewer 2 – First Steps
1. Make sure both the computer and the CT100B are plugged into the network. The CT100B
Ethernet plug is found on the back of the CT100B. The light on the CT100B Ethernet port
should illuminate.
2. Start CT Viewer 2 on the computer.
3. On the CT100B, navigate to MENU → Connect to CT Viewer. See Figure 6.1. The Find CT
Viewer menu button will scan the local network looking for a PC running the CT Viewer 2
program.
4. Or you can use the Manual Connect option to reconnect to a server you have used in the past
or one that is not on your local network. See Figure 6.2.
