Calibrations and Custom Test
Standards
Chapter 6 provides the following information:
• Instructions for calibrating the test tool.
• Instructions for determining a cable’s NVP value.
• Instructions for defining a custom test standard.
Calibrating the Test Tool
Before shipment, each test tool is calibrated to work with the remote unit shipped
in the same package. If you want to use your test tool with a different remote, you
must perform a self-calibration to store the new remote’s calibration parameters in
the test tool. You must also recalibrate after replacing the battery in a standard
remote.
Calibrating the test tool also ensures maximum accuracy of cable test results.
The test tool stores the remote’s calibration data in non-volatile memory. You can
calibrate your test tool to work with two different remotes.
