Quick guide to CT-3 Advanced Users (API resources, Documentations etc.)



Compared to CT-2, the new model multimeter CT-3 has lots of advanced features.
This post is for users who:
1. Wants to make access functionalities of the meter (e.g Data readout) programmatically to integrate into his own project.
2. Wants to write programs to customize features (e.g Production line automation).

So far, there are 2 ways of programming CT-3:

1. With lua scripts. There is a lua script interpreter INSIDE the meter software, with access to various peripherals in the meter.
2. With C# APIs, you can access some of the functionalities of the meter on your host machine.

The major difference between 1 and 2 is: Your code runs INSIDE THE METER independently if you chose the first method, while you run your code ON YOUR HOST MACHINE and access functionalities of the meter via C# communication APIs.

At the time, the first method is documented much better than the second.

To get started with method 1: https://yk-lab.org:666/index.php/lua-programming-overview/
To get started with method 2: https://yk-lab.org:666/index.php/c-api-brief/

Comment below if you have any difficulties~!

"To get started with method 2" above states "c-api" but it is CSharp. Where can I find C API or documentation to implement the library using libusb on Linux?

Where is LUA loadCon module documentation? I can't find it here.

Hello, yanke928

Could you send full LUA APIs for loadCon module, please?

The demo programs (https://yk-lab.org:666/index.php/2020/01/09/lua-programming-overview/) does not demonstrate temperature reading.

Thank you
