Custom Cable List Uploading and Downloading

Custom cable parameters can be uploaded to the Site Master or downloaded from the Site
Master and saved via the Site Master Software Tools Cable Editor.

Uploading a Cable List to the Site Master Custom Cable Table

Step 1. Connect the supplied cable as shown in Figure 5-2.

Step 2. Open the Cable Editor by clicking on

Insertion Loss (dB/m)

NOTES:
As a minimum, the Cable Name and Pro. Vel cells must have entries for the
Site Master to accept the selection as a valid cable during uploading. The Site
Master will assign a zero value to insertion loss if the Insertion Loss cell has no
entry.

the Site Master and so those cells will have no information when downloading
