11. Setting the speed factor before a test
Set the cable type to be tested. A corresponding speed factor (in % of the speed of light c) is
assigned to each cable type. Select a pre-set dataset for a cable from the database. There are
20 pre-set cable types and 99 memory locations for user-defined values of unspecified cables.
You must determine these yourself. Refer to the Chapter ‘12. Measuring and saving the speed
factor’ for information on how to do this.
• From the measuring interface (data or coaxial cable test), press the
SET
button (7) to access
the database for the cable types. Details on operation of the database interface can be found
in Section ‘b) Cable data from the cable database’.

button.
•
Briefly press the
TEST OK
