4.1.2. Turning on

4.1.3. Selection of cable type
By pressing

T
P
or
S
T
P
it’s possible to select the type of cable to be tested, with the
following difference: STP performs also tests on the shield (continuity and proper
connections) while UTP doesn’t.
Consequently STP must be pressed for all shielded cables such as:
- FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair cable)
- STP (Shielded Twisted Pair cable)
- SSTP (Shielded/Shielded Twisted Pair cable)
- SFTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair cable)
NOTE: by default the selected cable is STP. Any time the instrument is turned off and on
such type of cable is automatically selected.
