DSP-100/2000

Users Manual

Print

Allows you to send saved reports or report summaries to a serial printer. You can print the results from previously stored Autotests. Also allows editing of the report identification information.

Special Functions

Allows you to do the following:

∙View or delete test reports saved in memory.

∙Generate a tone to use with an inductive pickup to identify cable runs (Model DSP-2000 only).

∙Determine the cable NVP to ensure maximum accuracy of length and resistance results.

∙View the status of the NiCad battery in the main unit or smart remote.

∙Calibrate the test tool to work with a new remote unit.

∙Run a self-test to verify proper operation of the test tool and the remote.

Smart Remote (Model DSP-100)

The SMART REMOTE mode causes the test tool to function as a smart remote. In the SMART REMOTE mode, when remote testing is enabled on the main unit, the remote unit sends results from REMOTE tests to the main unit.

Turning On the Test Tool

To turn on the test tool, turn the rotary switch from OFF to any one of the available modes. The power-up screen, which appears for about 3 seconds, shows the software, hardware, and test standards versions for your main and remote units.

During this time, the test tool also performs a self-test. If a fault is detected during the self-test, the following message appears:

INTERNAL FAULT DETECTED. REFER TO MANUAL. For

information, see “If the Test Tool Fails” in Chapter 8.
