Table 3. Coaxial Cable Test Settings

Setting Description

Select the appropriate test limit for the job.

Select a cable type appropriate for

the type you will test.

Nominal velocity of propagation, which is used with the

measured propagation delay to determine

cable length. The default value defined by the selected cable type represents the typical NVP for that

cable type. You may enter a different value if necessary. To determine the actual value, change the

NVP until the measured length matches the known length of a cable. Use a cable at least 30 m (100

ft) long.

Increasing the NVP increases measured length.
