MaxTester 600 series - Compensating the Copper test leads


Applies to

MAX-610, MAX-635, MAX-635G

Introduction

Since test lead characteristics have some impact on copper test results, it is highly recommended to compensate any new copper test leads with your MaxTester. Routine calibrations may be required when copper test accuracy is in question.

Follow the steps below to perform the Test Lead Compensation on your Copper/DSL MaxTester.

Note: If the test lead compensation fails, or is unable to complete, contact EXFO's Technical Support https://www.exfo.com/en/contact/technical-support-contact/

Procedure to follow
