Hello Sir, can you please tell me what is the full form of FPC?

[@pauldenisowski]

There are two models of the FPC - the FPC1000 and the FPC1500. For cable measurements, you would need the FPC1500 since only this model has a built-in tracking generator and VSWR bridge, both of which are needed to make this measurement
