Cable Configuration
The
Cable Configuration
page is only required if using
theoretical calculated attenuation pass/fail. The page
allows you to set cable parameters for the
WB
Attenuation
test. Each time the
Cable Configuration
is changed, the total equivalent attenuation table will be
recalculated and redrawn.
No. of Cable Sections
allows you to set the
number of consecutive cable sections, to a
maximum of 4. If unknown, set the number to
1.
Cable Type #
displays the number of a cable
section set above, ID, Cable Name and Fill,
and allows you to select an entry (with its
associated parameters) from the current Cable
Book, to use for testing.
For each section, the selected
Cable Type
must have attenuation data available or else
the total equivalent attenuation cannot be
calculated. The selection is not saved when
leaving the test. The current Cable Book entry
is shown by default.
Section Length
specifies the cable length of
each section. The total length for all cable
sections cannot exceed 8000 m or 24000 ft. If
you do not enter a length for each section
selected, the total equivalent attenuation
cannot be calculated.
Cable Attenuation Data
is set to
Yes
for each
cable section selected.
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.
WB Attenuation Result Details
The Results Details read-only page displays the Cable
Length, pass/fail status, and WB Attenuation test
results in text and graphical format.
Test Group
is the overall test group of the
selected saved results file, for example
Frequency Tests
.
Test Identification
is the test type of the
group, for example
WB Attenuation
.
Test Modes
is the mode of test, for example
Attenuation
.
Threshold Frequency
displays the technology
used for threshold pass/fail estimation.
Cable Configuration
button opens a new
page displaying the cable parameters of the
test. Use the left/right arrows to select the
button and press to open the page.
