Before You Start

The software runs in the browser and communicates directly with the CCT-01 through Web Serial.

Browser

Use a Web Serial compatible browser such as Chrome or Microsoft Edge on desktop.

Connection

Connect the physical CCT-01 tester to the computer using USB. Authorize the serial port when the browser asks.

Serial Settings

The app uses fixed settings: 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no hardware flow.

Quick Start

A typical test takes only a few actions once the CCT-01 is authorized.
  1. Open the software.
    Click Open CCT-01 Software or load the software page from your website.
  2. Click Connect.
    After clicking Connect, plug in the physical CCT-01 and select the newly discovered serial port.
  3. Let the app read the master connection.
    When the tester first connects, the software reads the master connection from the device.
  4. Insert the cable under test.
    Place the cable in the CCT-01 tester and click the Start TEST area in Virtual View, or press Spacebar.
  5. Review the result.
    The visual display and report section show pass, fail, wrong connections, and missing connections.
  6. Export the report.
    Click Export Report or press F4, enter the cable serial number, then print or save the A4 PDF report.

Display Views

Use the View button or press F1 to move through the available views.

Virtual View

How to read the display

  • If the blue square lands on a purple master cell, that connection is correct.
  • If the blue square lands where there is no purple master cell, that connection is wrong.
  • If a purple master cell has no blue square, that connection is missing.
  • Fail messages use a red square marker to match the red boxes on the virtual tester.

The toolbar and virtual front panel provide the main operating controls.

Master Cable Documentation

The master connection is the expected cable wiring used for comparison.
On first startup or first device connection, the software reads the master connection from the CCT-01 device. If a Master Cable Connection document is uploaded, the uploaded file overrides the device master connection for the current connected session. If the device disconnects and reconnects, the uploaded document is discarded and the software again takes the master connection from the device.

Download Matrix CSV

The Download button exports a 64 by 64 master connection matrix. Rows and columns are labeled A1 through H8.

@ means a master connection, . means same pin, and - means no connection.

Upload Profile

Use Upload to load a Google Sheet export or CSV profile. This allows documented cable wiring to be used as the master reference.

PDF Report

Reports are prepared as a one-page A4 portrait document for printing or saving as PDF.
  1. Click Export Report or press F4.
    The software first asks for the Cable Serial Number or report title.
  2. Enter the serial number.
    This value appears on the report and is also represented as a barcode. Leaving it blank is allowed.
  3. Review the report preview.
    The preview includes the virtual tester, current and master layers, pass/fail status, and all wrong or missing connection messages.
  4. Print or save as PDF.
    Use the browser print dialog to print to paper or choose Save as PDF.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and quick checks.

Cannot Connect

Use Chrome or Edge. Click Connect first, then plug in the CCT-01 and select the newly discovered serial port.

No Device Response

Disconnect and reconnect the CCT-01. Check the USB cable and confirm the device is powered.

Report Missing Barcode

The app uses an SVG barcode so it should print normally. If it is still missing, try saving as PDF from Chrome or Edge.
