Note: Although you can specify cable length from 0 to 450 feet, the XSR recognizes only two
ranges: 0 to 224 and 225 to 450. For example, entering 35 feet selects the 0 to 224 range. If you
later change the cable length to 40 feet, there is no change because 40 falls within the 0 to 224
range. But, if you change the cable length to 350, the 225 to 450 range is selected. The actual length
you enter is stored in the configuration file.
