WinTDR MANUALS
WinTDR Manuals are written in an attempt to explain the concepts and functionality of the WinTDR application. Because WinTDR is constantly being updated and maintained, but the manual is only updated at intervals, items contained in the text may become inaccurate. The manuals describe which version of WinTDR they most closely represent.
If something in the application is not contained within the manual, or is radically different, please contact our support.
All Manuals are in PDF format and require the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them. Download Acrobat Reader.
