4.2.1.1
The Tone Generator mode
Starting from v8.0, unless when performing a Single-Ended cable test, WireXpert will automatically
switch to Tone Generator mode when only one end is connected and the
[AUTOTEST]
button is pressed.
WireXpert will be able to perform audible cable detection when paired with a Softing CT15 Tone
Generator.
When faced with multiple unlabeled open-ended cables, connect one end of the cable to WireXpert.
Point the CT15 Tone Generator to the other end of the cables. CT15 will produce a different tone when
the cable that is connected to WireXpert is detected.
The Tone Generator mode can also be triggered by pressing the
[TOOLS]
