About this Chapter

This chapter provides an overview of the CTS 3.0 program menus. You may read this chapter to
familiarize yourself with the menus available in the program for harmonics and flicker testing or
proceed directly to the relevant chapter for the test you want to run and use this chapter only as a
reference.

Main Menus

Many of the CTS system capabilities are accessible through the menus located at the top of the
main window. These menus are organized in the following groupings. Click on any menu to view
the sub menu items.

MENU

DESCRIPTION

File

Open, close and save test setups and data files. Also allows printing of
test reports

Edit

Used to cut and paste graphs to other Windows programs or edit the
report header text.

View

Allows test setups or a list of all tests performed with the system to be
displayed. A link to the California Instruments' web site is provided on this
menu as well.

Options

Several run-time and replay settings can be controlled from this menu.

Test

Starts a new test, allows replay of a previously recorded test, or display
harmonics information of the most recent test.

Help

On line help and Program information.

Note: When a test is in progress, the menus are not available until after the test is completed.

This prevents the test from being suspended while the user pulls down a menu, which is a
unavoidable Windows issues.
