To calculate what the setting should be, multiply the delay/foot by the length of the cable in feet. The
typical delays for the following cable types are:
• RG-58 – approximately 1.4 ns/foot
• RG-59 – approximately 1.24 ns/foot
Command Line
To display the current distribution cable delay, enter:
F52
The XL-GPS responds using the following format:
F52ns
where:
For example, to display the current distribution cable delay, enter:
F52
XL-GPS responds:
F52 +000000ns
To set the distribution cable delay to 60 nS, enter:
F52 +000060nS
XL-GPS responds:
OK
