The PowerPlus PC program communicates with the PowerPlus 1557 tester via a Bluetooth connection. A Bluetooth
adaptor is supplied for this purpose. Please ensure the Bluetooth adaptor software driver is properly installed and a
connection established to the tester before attempting a Download or Upload. Refer to the Bluetooth adaptor and
PowerPlus 1557 tester documentation for more information.

Transferring Certificates to test instrument
The Upload is launched from an individual Certificate context menu (right-mouse click). After selecting the
appropriate Certificate, open the context menu (right mouse click) and select Transfer Certificate . . .

the Certificate is possible until it has been transferred back into the program.

Note that a certificate can consist of several parts. It is possible to transfer each part to a different test instrument.
This feature allows several people to work on different parts of the certificate at the same time.
Tick the box next to the part you want to transfer. If it is possible to make the transfer then the Upload to Tester
and the Export to File buttons will become available.
