CCDelay, Ports 1-20

CCDelay, Ports 21-40

The compensation setting for cable delay on any CC output for Port Group 1 through 20 and for Port Group 21 through 40.

This capability may be needed when a long CC run is used. The setting is in feet of cable and can be set from 0 to 6000 feet. Increasing the setting causes the CC signal to be advanced (sent earlier) by the amount of time that corresponds to the number of feet of cable specified. This has the desired effect of causing the signal to arrive at the end of the cable run with no apparent delay.
