User Manual MX-CTSL Compliance Test System
California Instruments Revision J 11
1. Introduction
1.1 Manual Organization
This manual describes the operation of the California Instruments Compliance Test System Software when
used in conjunction with the CTS hardware. Its primary function is as a reference manual. If you have a
question about a specific screen or how to perform a certain task, turn to the appropriate section of the
manual. The manual is organized in accordance with the normal test procedure you would follow when
testing for IEC compliance.
Some assumptions were made when producing this documentation. Specifically, it is assumed that you are
familiar with the EN 61000-3-2 and EN 61000-3-3 standards and their requirements. Some background
information on the IEC standards covered by the CTS system is included in chapter 2. This information is
subject to change however as standards do change. We recommend you stay current with evolving test
standards and regulations. Furthermore, it is also assumed that you are familiar with operating a personal
computer under the Microsoft Windows™ environment.
The manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 describes the organization of the user manual and provides a brief overview of the
CTS system components.
Chapter 2 provides an overview of the relevant IEC regulations and how compliance testing to
these regulations is implemented in the CTSMXL Software.
Chapter 3 covers installation of the hardware and software components required to operate the
CTS system. Proper installation of both hardware and software is essential. This
chapter walks the user through the hardware setup and the software installation,
process one step at a time.
