Choosing the Cable Type

3−14
Cable from different manufacturers has different transmission
characteristics. The WireScope 350 compensates for those differences if
you tell it what cable is used on the job. A solid black cable spool icon
indicates a shielded cable, a grey cable spool icon indicates an
unshielded cable.
1 On the Autotest Setup screen, press the cable spool icon, then press
