7 Parameterizing, adjusting and analyzing
software (P2A software)
7.1.

Specifications

The P2A software is used for the parameterizing, adjustment and
analysis of testo transmitters. The following applies:
• Generally, all newer testo transmitters (as of 2007) are
supported.
• For each newly purchased Testo transmitter, a free software
upgrade must be installed, containing the instrument drivers for
all transmitters which are connectable at that time.
• This upgrade can be downloaded free of charge at any time
from the Testo homepage
(requires registration).
The software must only be bought one time, even for owners of
several testo transmitters.
7.1.1.

Functions and use

In the P2A software, two different file types are used: The
instrument and the parameter file.
Instrument file
The parameters of a particular transmitter are stored in its so-called
instrument file. Using this file, the parameters can be edited and the
instrument can be tested and adjusted.
Instrument files also contain the respective histories in addition to
the parameter data, i.e. "log books" are kept for the previous
parameterizations, adjustments and messages (see 7.3.5.
Transmitter history).
Parameter file
Parameter files are not tied to a specific individual transmitter and
contain only parameter data/no history data.
If you use various instruments of the same type, you can create
parameter files once (e.g. by saving the appropriate instrument file
as the parameter file) and transmit these onto the other
instruments.

Instrument files are ".cfm" format files.
Parameter files are ".cfp" format files.
