Application Settings
Before executing the copper tests, set up the software settings and values
for the cables. The MAX-610 allows you to save standard parameter settings
to different profiles and reuse them as needed.
To access Application Settings:
From the
Home
pane, select
Copper Test
, then
Setup,
and
Application Settings
.
The following parameters are available to configure:
General
The
General
tab allows you to configure the unit with
specific measurement values and graph viewing
settings.
Each parameter is described below:
Cable Temperature
specifies the temperature of
the cable under test in either F (Fahrenheit) or C
(Celsius) units.
Capacitance Measurement
is either
3 Terminal
or
2 Terminal
. The latter method measures the
capacitance across the 2 terminals specified
(either T-R, T-G, R-G or A-B, A-E, B-E), whereas the
3 Terminal
method measures the capacitance across the 2 terminals
specified, and shorts the remaining (or unspecified) terminal to G/E.
Note:
In order to correctly determine cable length by using the
Capacitance
Measurement
, the
Cable Book
must contain both 3/2 Terminal values.
Note:
The accuracy of the
2 Terminal
Capacitance Measurement
is impacted by
the use of the FED, and the
3 Terminal
method is recommended to be used
instead.
