To set cable compensation for a camera, do the following:
1. Enter the Unit ID number (1-64) of the MDA unit to which the camera is connected,
and then press Return. Note that all subsequent changes that are made using the
CM9760-MDA Setup program will be applied to the unit ID number that was entered.
2. Enter the channel (camera) number (1-16) for which you want to set cable compensa-
tion, and then press Return. All subsequent changes that are made using the
CM9760-MDA Setup program will be applied to the channel number that was entered.
3. If you wish the cable compensation of the channel number entered in step 2 above to
be applied also to all of the other 15 channels, select the Global checkbox option.
4. Set cable compensation by clicking the option button next to the setting that is closest
to the actual length of the cable connecting the camera to the MDA: 500 feet (152 m),
1,000 feet (304 m), or 1,500 feet (457 m). The program illustrates your selection by
displaying 500-foot (152 m) reels of cable at the bottom of the dialog box.
If cable compensation is not required, select 0 feet (default setting).
When you finish entering all the data for the compensations you want for your system,
close the dialog box by clicking the “X” box.
