System Overview
A life time tester (LTT) is an electric control cabinet, whose purpose is to perform long term electrical tests on various electrical devices (so called devices under test, or short DUT) under certain environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.). One can say, it simulates the aging process or lifetime of an electrical device.
The IRS LTT software, which comes with every IRS life time tester is composed of several parts.
This is the documentation of the IRS LTT software, including the graphical user interface (GUI), the TestStand sub system and all other related components.
Folder structure
After installation you will find a certain folder structure below your root installation folder.

Initial Setup Guide
If you start a brand new LTT GUI installation for the first time you need to perform certain setup tasks before you can load and run a LTT TestStand sequence file.
Although the GUI assists you with this task by displaying various messages, an overview of the minimum steps needed to run a LTT TestStand sequence file is given right here.
Each of the below steps links to the corresponding chapter in which the required action will be explained in detail. In each of those chapters a back link to this setup guide is provided, so you can easily jump between the setup guide and the individual topics.
For the first 3 steps the LTT GUI may not be open. Please close the GUI if you have it currently open.
