Regional Settings
Cable Setup
The
Cable Setup
tab allows you to
configure parameter values for the
cable.
Each parameter and button is
described below:
³
Cable Type
defines the gauge of
the cable in use. If wire gauge is
measured in American Wire
Gauge (AWG) units, the available
choices are:
AUTO
,
19 AWG
,
22 AWG
,
24 AWG
, or
26 AWG.
For mm
gauge wire, the available choices are:
AUTO
,
0.32 mm
,
0.40 mm
,
0.50 mm
,
0.60 mm
,
0.65 mm
,
0.80 mm
,
0.90 mm
, or
1.20 mm
.
³
Cable Fill
allows you to select the type of material the cable can be
filled with. Changing the selection to
AIRCORE
,
JELLY
,
PULP
,
5 PR
, or
2 PR
influences the cable capacitance per length, automatically
updating the
Cap. T/R-GND
field.
³
Capacitance T-R (nF/km
or
nF/mi)
allows you to specify a value for the
capacitance per length constant.
³
Cap. T/R-GND (nF/km
or
nF/mi)
allows you to specify a value for the
capacitance per length to ground constant.
³
Resistance (Ohm/km
or
Ohm/mi)
allows you specify a value for the
resistance constant of the cable.
³
Attenuation (dB/km
or
dB/mi)
allows you to specify a value for the
reduction in signal strength or insertion loss of the cable.
³
VOP
allows you to set the velocity of propagation for the cable as a
ratio of the speed of light. Enter a value between
0.400
and
0.999
.
³
Restore Defaults
allows you to reset cable parameters for the selected
cable to the standard default values.
