Configuring Cable and Antenna Tests
For valid measurement results, you need to specify the characteristics of the cable
under test like cable model or the frequency usage range.
7.2.1
Selecting the Cable Mode
To determine the speed of propagation, and therefore the precise distance to any
faults, you have to specify the cable model that you want to test.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH already comes with an assortment of predefined cable
models that you can use without doing anything. If you want to test a cable that is not
listed, you can also define cable models manually, either directly on the R&S Cable
Rider ZPH or with the "Cable Model Editor" of the R&S InstrumentView software pack-
age that is delivered with the R&S Cable Rider ZPH.
For more information of the "Cable Model Editor", see R&S InstrumentView user man-
ual.
