Sync Input Cable Delay Measurement

The external sync input cable delay must be measured in order to input the system
synchronization delay into the system at initialization. The system synchronization delay
compensates for the delay introduced by the cable. The external sync input cable delay is
measured as follows:

1.

Make sure that the other end of the external sync input cable is not connected.

2.

Connect a TDR to the terminals 3 and 4 on this end.

3.

Measure the cable delay. The resulting value must have an accuracy of 50ns (corresponding
to 16ft. – 33ft.).

4.

Note the cable delay value.
