A specific brand and model can then
be selected - or choose “Generic” if a
specific brand is not desired.
The name of the selected cable will
appear on the certification report.
Choosing a brand and model
automatically sets the NVP (nominal
velocity of propagation) as defined by
the manufacturer.
NVP is important for correctly
measuring the length of a link; it only
aects this measurement and no
others.
When the “Generic” is selected, the
NVP can be manually entered or
calculated using a cable link of known
length.
The connector brand is optional and
will appear on the report. A list of
brands is available by pressing the
search icon.
In this example, a “Generic” cable
is selected and the NVP will be
determined by measuring a known
length of cable.
Press “Measure NVP” to begin the
measurement process.
