Attenuation Test
This test measures the overall signal strength loss in the cable and verifies that it is
within acceptable limits. Low attenuation is essential for error-free transmission.
Attenuation is measured by injecting a signal of known amplitude at the Remote
Handset and reading the amplitude at the Display Handset.
Note: The RH is required to perform this test.
