When To Use OMNIREMOTE
Most measurements require the use of OMNIREMOTE at the far end of the
cable. For other measurements, OMNIREMOTE can be connected, but its
use is optional. OMNISCANNER detects the presence of the remote unit
and automatically configures it for the measurement to be performed.
Twisted Pair Measurements requiring the use of OMNIREMOTE:
• Autotest • Return Loss
• Wiremap • ELFEXT and Power Sum ELFEXT
• NEXT and Power Sum NEXT • ACR and Power Sum ACR
• Attenuation
Twisted Pair Measurements not requiring the use of
OMNIREMOTE:
• Length / Delay / Skew • Resistance
COAX Measurements do not require the use of OMNIREMOTE.
Fiber Measurements require the use of OMNIREMOTE with an
OMNIFIBER Adapter.
