The Virtual SCT (VSCT) was developed to give a good demonstration platform for users to gain an idea of the workings of the SCT1500 and SCT2000 Structured Cable Tester Certification devices. The VSCT works just like the real device, but with a few restrictions. You can create Projects, run Autotest and Individual tests, set reference points, view test results etc. You can not however create a cable, create a test limit, review stored results or edit any of the Options information.
You will find that many of the functions work faster on the VSCT than on the real device, including the actual test.
When you run the VSCT you may be presented with an Internet Explorer message prompting you to set security options for the page.
Just click on the message bar and choose to accept blocked content and the VSCT will continue to load. If you do not get the message prompt then you will not need to alter any settings.
The buttons on the VSCT are used in exactly the same way as on the "real" device.
Just click the virtual buttons with the mouse to operate. To carry out a virtual test you will need to turn both the Primary and Secondary devices on, so let's turn the VSCT on now.
Click on the power (on/off) button on both the Primary (left hand) and Secondary (right hand) devices.
You will notice that the load screens will show on the Primary and a sequence of lights will show on the Secondary, just like on the real device.
Wait for the boot up sequence to finish and you will see the following screen.
You are now ready to access the functionality of the VSCT.
Click on the virtual cursor keys to move around the SCT screen menu and click the virtual ENTER key to make a choice.
Please note: Pressing the keys on your keyboard may have an adverse effect on the functionality of the VSCT and may require a VSCT reset.
You will have noticed the unusual arrow displayed in between the Primary and Secondary units.
This is the system menu and gives access to added features. Click on the arrow to activate the system menu.
Here you can access features such as changing the adaptor, choosing a different cable, adding a fault etc.
Some of these extra features are there for future versions of the VSCT and do not make any difference to the working of the VSCT, although they are all clickable.
To close the system menu just click on any of the top level tags.
When you first start the VSCT an adaptor and a cable are already installed. If you remove the cable using the menu, then when a test has been selected it will not start until you connect a cable again. This will enable you to show how a test can start automatically after TEST has been selected before making connection.
Context specific help is available by clicking on the help icon in the top right hand of the VSCT screen.
From this point on, the functionality of the VSCT follows closely that of the real device. Please refer to the SCT user guide for test specifics.
