tester may also be controlled by a Personal Computer through an RS-232C Terminal port.

MAJOR FEATURES

Major functions of the Model 512 are as follows:
• Self Programming for circuit testing by "learning" a known good circuit.
• Programming by downloading from a PC.
• Automatic Test of each circuit (cable, harness, etc.) to be tested.
• Assembly assistance by displaying build information.
• Program save and load.
• Identification or location of wires through touch, using wrist strap or probe.
• Self Test of the Model 512.
• Program compatible with other Cablescan testers.
• Alphanumeric test point labels (User Labels).
