CABLE Command:
Description: - Set/Transmit cable length compensation.
Syntax: CABLE[ S P LENGTH] C R [ L F ]
Parts:
LENGTH (OPTIONAL)
Specifies the total length (in feet) of cable attached between the sensor
head and the transmitter box. The valid range for this parameter is 6
to 56. If this parameter is not specified, the length currently set will be
transmitted.
Remarks:
The default length is 6 Feet. The only way to change the cable length
compensation is through the RS232 "CABLE" command. Additional
extension cables can be purchased and added to the system, up to a
maximum total length of 56 Feet. As total cable length is changed, and
error is introduced. This command is used to compensate for that error.
When adding extension cable(s), ensure you specify the total length (i.e.,
25 Ft extension + original 6 Ft = 31 Ft) with the CABLE command.
Example 1:
The following is shown on the PC (terminal) screen after typing
"CABLE" and "Enter". The current cable length compensation value is
not changed, but it is reported.

CABLE LENGTH = 6 FT

Example 2:
The following is shown on the PC (terminal) screen after typing
"CABLE 31" and "Enter". The cable length compensation value is
changed to "31" and reported as such.
CABLE 31
CABLE LENGTH = 31 FT
>
Example 3:
The following is shown on the PC (terminal) screen after typing
"CABLE 200" and "Enter". The cable length compensation value is
changed to "56" because the value 200 is above the maximum length of
56.
CABLE 200
CABLE LENGTH = 56 FT
