Creating a Cable Model
Temporary cable model
When you change any cable parameters or load another cable model, the temporary
cable model data is lost and you have to define it again if you have to perform further
measurements.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH provides two ways to define customized cable models.
The first way is to define a cable model with the "Cable Model Editor" that is part of the
R&S InstrumentViewsoftware package. The R&S InstrumentView is delivered with the
R&S Cable Rider ZPH. With this software, you can define a cable model on a com-
puter and then transfer it to the instrument.

teristics in a dataset, they are lost when you change them or load another cable model.
