In addition to the transmission speed, other parameters such as total capacitance
and contact resistance must also be taken into account. The applications engineer
has at his/her disposal, free of cost, the "PRB Checker" software tool for easy, fast
and reliable calculation of the lengths of the individual PRB segments. This tool can
be obtained through Siemens Customer Support under the ID: 13884116 for
downloading over the Internet.
Installation is not necessary following downloading. All files must be copied into one
directory. After calling "PRB-Checker.exe", you can select the relevant PRB from the
start screen based on Order No. and the language you wish to use.
Note: Before working with the program, you must set the language in Windows
Control Panel to German [Germany].
