accurate measurements.
About Launch/Tail Cords with Low-Reflectance Connectors
The tester possibly will not find the correct launch and tail events
when you use launch/tail cords that have connectors with low
reflectance. This can occur with APC connectors. If this occurs,
enter the lengths of the cords manually. See “How To Enter
Lengths Manually” on page 233.
