Peak

Use the TDR Peak mode to capture events that may be intermittent. The ‘live’ trace is displayed continuously. As a new maximum or minimum trace is detected, it will replace the previous one on the display.

If the circuit being tested is stable (no intermittent faults), then the minimum, maximum and “live” traces should appear as a single trace.

Note: If any of the control values are changed, the peak histories will be erased and new values will begin to display.
