## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Tone Generator and analog or digital signal?**
A: I'm pretty sure its analog because the tone gets louder the closer you get to it. Digital would be all or nothing.

**Q: Can you export results as pdf or is it in Klein’s format?**
A: It will be a PDF of a screenshot

**Q: Will this test if a cat6 cable will run at 1000mbs?**
A: It will not certify the cable, but it will show the connection speed when you test it while connected to the network.

**Q: Does this measure attenuation in db?**
A: If I understand your question correctly, no. It does not measure in db.
