describes results marked with an asterisk.
C Magnification level for the plot. Use AD to zoom

D Measured ACR for the cable pairs. Higher ACR means better
cabling performance.
E The limit line (in red) for ACR. The higher the
measurements rise above the limit line, the better the
cabling performance. Press
L to see plots of individual
pairs.
F The cursor and its location on the frequency scale. When
you first view the plot, the cursor is placed at the worst
margin. Use
BC to move the cursor.
G The measured ACR and margin at the cursor’s position.
Margin is the difference between the measured value and
the limit. Margin is negative if the pair failed.
H The horizontal scale is the frequency range in megahertz.
The vertical scale is the ACR range in decibels.
