TLA CTS-5-CA, Manual

16

The indicator for this is structured as follows: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Start now with the measurements (you now measure the second partial of a-1. To do this, play 

the note which is automatically adjusted by the tuner (right now a_1) and align the tuners 

frequency until the movement of the strobo display is stopped. 
For fine adjustment use the "<>" buttons. For rough adjustment, you hold the "S" button and tap 

one of the keys "<>". Pressing “A” starts an automatic scan. The audible tone can be used also.  
Press  „E“. 
Play the specified note (for the moment again a_1, since you 

now measure the 3rd partial of a-1) and align the tuner again. 

Press “E”. 
Play the specified note (for the moment again a_1, since you 

now measure the 4rd partial of a-1) and align the tuner again. 

Then press “E”. The tuner will now continue to the next note. It 

then emits a short beep and for 1 second „next note“ is indicated. 
Play the specified note (for the moment again a_2, since you now 

meassure the fundamental tone of a-2) and align the tuner again. 

Press “E”. 
 
Certainly, you now know how the device pretends the operating steps. Now perform all 

measurements. 
Important note: When the instrument is grossly out of tune, immediately after the tuner changes 

the note, you should align the actual tone to the tuner using a tuning hammer. This is necessary 

because the inharmonicity of the piano string depends on its tension. This, however, only be 

carried out immediately after the change of note. So just before the measurements 5 / 9 /, 13 / 

and 17/ 
 
After the last measurement you get this display. This are eight 

cents-values (support values), that were determined automatically 

on the basis of previous measurements.  
 
Press “E”. The device calculates the piano stretching 

and stores them, and automatically jumps to “tune” 

mode. Then it goes on, as described in Section 2.5 

of the manual for CTS-5-CA. 
 
Note: Within the “ANAYZER”- procedure, you can back step by holding “S” button while 

tapping “E” button.
