What Is Cable Testing Software?

Usually in the music industry or basically any industry that uses a lot of audio and other technical equipment that needs to be plugged in, should have some sort of cable testing software.

Cable testing software is a program that is loaded into ones computer and connected to a peripheral device where the cable plugs get plugged into.

This cable testing software allows a person to check the connections that the cable wires are achieving while taking advantage of the graphic display, processing speed, disk storage, and printing capabilities of the computer.

With most of the cable testing software, the tester can make a visualization of the cable wiring. Benefits of this is that the cable testing software can draw schematics from cable connections, show the diodes and resistors, view into pins, continuously remeasure resistance, and they can swap the schematics between the test data and the match data in order to detect the differences in the cable wiring.

With the cable testing software, the tester can quickly find the intermittent connections. The intermittent connections are those connections that maintain an average amount of power from the power source to the apparatus. When the cable that is being tested gets bent during testing, the cable testing software will display the failures in an accumulating graphic image.

The cable testing software also allows the tester to print out full cable documentation for their records or the records of their customers and they can provide quality certification for each cable that was tested.

The cable testing software can let the tester store the cable data and results in a searchable database on the computer. They can save information of each individual cable for easier look up later. This feature allows for easy searches, can transmit or email information to other resources, easy back-up to disks.

The cable testing software can also have the ability to log the test data for batch testing and printing of the hard copy records. This allows the tester to keep track of every cable tested.

Most cable testing software also has a built in program that will allow the tester to print out labels. This is beneficial because the tester can print a single label on demand, print one label at a time as the cables are tested, print a batch of labels for using when they are all done with their specific project, and print serial numbers on each label that they print. Cable testing software is a needed item to every tester of cables.
