Dual Trace

Dual Trace is used to compare two coaxial circuits at the same time (usually a faulted and a good circuit).

Connect the TDR test leads to the (Red and Black jacks) and connect the second TDR test lead set (Blue and Yellow jacks) to the reference circuit. This mode is valuable when testing a system with multiple coaxial wires serving the same system.

Memory

Memory mode is used to compare a circuit under test to a stored trace in memory. The first screen in memory mode will show a list of the ID numbers for

all stored TDR traces. Use the

and

keys to

highlight the desired stored result.

 

 

Press the key to select the highlighted result and display the stored results list for that ID number by type (TDR), date and time.

You can delete individual stored results by pressing

the

key.
