WB Attenuation
Cable Setup
The Cable Setup page allows you to set the Cable
Type and Cable Temperature for the WB Attenuation
test. All other Cable Parameters are read only and
correspond to the current cable book entry as
selected in Setup/Cable Book/Cable Details page.
Cable Type allows you to select a cable entry
(with its associated parameters) from the current
Cable Book, to use for testing. The selection is not
saved when leaving the test. The current Cable
Book entry is shown by default.
Cable Fill read-only entry is the type of material
the cable is filled with: Aircore, Jelly, Pulp, 5 PR,
or 2 PR.
Capacitance T-R/A-B read-only entry is a value for the capacitance per
length constant.
Capacitance T/R to GND/A/B to E read-only entry is a value for the
capacitance per length to ground constant.
Attenuation @ 300 kHz read-only entry is a value for the reduction in
signal strength or insertion loss of the cable.
Velocity of Propagation read-only entry is the velocity of propagation
for the cable as a ratio of the speed of light.
Resistance read-only entry is a value for the resistance constant of the
cable.
Cable Temperature allows you to change the temperature of the cable
under test in either degree C or F.
