6.5.2.2. APS Cable Diagnostics
The cable diagnostics is a useful tool to determine any
cable related issues in the case of TPS connection. The
estimated cable length and the quality of the link are
measured periodically and the diagnostic window shows
the values in real-time. If the green bars hit the first line
in the middle they turn into red. It means the number
of the errors – during the extension – is higher than
recommended. The link might be alive but recovering of
the received data is not guaranteed.

INFO: Dach bar represents a differential line in the CATx
cable. The inappropriate termination of the cable usually
causes high error rates. Check the cable terminations
or change the cable.
Reference Values
Data can be displayed in two ways: table view and chart view. Data can be exported to a file by clicking on
the Dxport data button.
