Range Errors

A listing of Range Error messages is given in Table 2-3.

Table 2-3.Range Error Messages (1 of 2)

Error Message

Description

RANGE

The start (F1) frequency is greater than the stop (F2) frequency.

ERROR:F1 > F2

 

 

 

RANGE

The start (D1) distance is greater than the stop (D2) distance.

ERROR:D1 > D2

 

 

 

RANGE

The stop distance (D2) exceeds the maximum unaliased range. This

ERROR:D2 >

range is determined by the frequency span, number of points,

DMax=xx.x ft (m)

and relative propagation velocity:

 

MaximumUnaliased Range ￿

(1.5 ￿ 108) (dp ￿ 1) (V f )

 

F2 ￿ F1

 

 

 

 

Where: dp is the number of data points (130, 259, or 517)

 

Vf is the relative propagation velocity

 

F2 is the stop frequency in Hz

 

F1 is the start frequency in Hz

 

Maximum Unaliased Range is in meters

 

Refer to Figure -, page , for a plot of maximum range versus fre-

 

quency span.

RANGE ERROR:

The SWR scale parameter top value is less than or equal to its bottom

TOP<=BOTTOM

value.

RANGE ERROR:

The RL scale parameter top value is greater than or equal to its bottom

TOP>=BOTTOM

value.

CAL

A complete open, short, and load calibration must be performed bef-

INCOMPLETE

ore calibration can be turned on.

DIST REQUIRES

Valid distance to fault plots require a non-zero frequency span.

F1 < F2

 

 

 

DIST REQUIRES

Distance-to-fault measurements cannot be performed with CAL OFF.
