METRACABLE TDR PRO
Gossen Metrawatt GmbH
6.8 Cable Database Management
The instrument includes a cable database which is filled with entries for 32 different cable
types at the factory. The appropriate cable entry can be selected for measurements (



thus making it unnecessary to manually enter cable data.
The 32 predetermined cable types represent the maximum possible number of entries. The
cable database can be managed, e.g. edited, in the software. The edited database must
then be transferred back to the instrument.
The entries in the cable database can also be exported in order to back them up and/or
transfer them to other METRACABLE MANAGER installations, and thus to other instruments
as well. Entries are exported and imported as a proprietary copper parameters file with the
extension “.CUP”. Compatible CSV files can also be used.
Note!
The cable database is not permanently stored in the program. It has to be loaded from
the instrument or the PC each time it’s needed. After editing, it has to be transferred
back to the instrument and/or saved to the PC. Changes are otherwise lost.
