(local return loss). The pulse attenuation of the cable is calculated by the IRM 7 For measurement of the return loss is a pulse width of 2 ns (smallest pulse) best suitable (if the pule is yet visible).

Measuring of the propagation factor (nvp-value) of the cable: Connect a cable with known length (e.g. 100 m) on the IRM 7 . Set the cursor on the cable length and change the propagation factor so that the pulse echo appears behind the cursor.

This caused a tilting of the reflected pulse and the right end of the cable under test can be determined. Please note the important advice at this method: Do not work with the IRM 7 on live cable! It is very important for accurate measurements to measure the cable under test from both sides.
