Setting Description
SETUP > Coaxial
> Test Limit
Select the appropriate test limit for the job.
SETUP > Coaxial
> Cable Type
Select a cable type appropriate for the type you will test.
SETUP > Coaxial
> NVP
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. See
page 12-10.
Increasing the NVP increases measured length.
