Running an Autotest for Coaxial Cabling
1. Connect OMNISCANNER to the near end of the coaxial cable you are
testing.
OMNISCANNER auto-senses the adapter. The Adapter: field changes to
reflect the coax adapter that is now attached.
2. Use the é or ê to highlight Project: and press ENTER.
3. Select the appropriate Project from the pop-up list and press ENTER.
Select a project name for test result management. Cables were previ-
ously assigned to a specific project through the use of the
OMNISCANNER Configuration utility. (See Chapter 9 - Uploading and
Printing for further information about OMNISCANNER Configuration.)
The Project feature is very useful for grouping test results and eases
uploading and sorting of Autotests stored in the scanner.
4. When a coax adapter is attached, the Cable: field displays the
coaxial cable that is appropriate for the selected Project.
If the Cable you want to use is not in the Cable: pop-up list, open
(Setup) to select the appropriate cable.
(See Chapter 4 - Setup: Cables for further information.)
