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 ⁰ F (Fahrenheit)
or ⁰ 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. The
3
Terminal method is more common and is the
default. Continue to use it unless you know you
need the
2 Terminal method.
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.

VOP Compensation offsets length calculation
inaccuracy caused by the changes in velocity
of the pulse propagation, depending on the
pulse width and cable length produced by skin
effect; and is applied to
TDR , WB Attenuation ,
and FaultMapper tests.

Test Startup Mode lists the test startup type:
o
Auto (default) automatically starts a
test when you select the respective
icon from the test sub-menu pane and
press .
o
Manual requires that you press
Start/Stop on the 6100-Gfast keypad to
start a test.

Report File Storage Location is USB , which
is automatically selected.

Report Format is HTML , MHTML , or XML as
the generated report format.

Prompt To Save Results allows you to
Enable/Disable popup confirmation messages
before leaving a test and not saving results.

Result File Storage Location allows you to
select where to save your results: to a USB or
the internal memory of the 6100-Gfast.

Landscape Mode Settings :
o
Default Graph Mode sets the default
graph viewing mode to either Portrait
or Landscape .
o
Screen Rotation sets your preferred
default rotation of the unit for viewing
graphs in Landscape mode. Select
either
Right to rotate the 6100-Gfast
90 degrees clockwise so that the
keypad is on the left-hand side, or
Left
to rotate the unit 90 degrees counter-
clockwise so that the keypad is on the
right-hand side.
To select the parameter values:
1. Press the up/down arrow keys to highlight the
desired parameter.
2. Press the left/right arrow keys to view and
select the options.
OR
3. Press on a value to open a list box of
options or the alphanumeric editor screen and
use the navigation keys to scroll through.
4. Press to confirm the value.
