Chapter 5 Software Tools Program

Each cable/antenna tends to have a unique Distance-To-Fault (DTF) “Signature” because differing cable electrical lengths, cable types, dielectric thickness variations, and the posi- tions of components (connectors, adapters, and lightning arresters) will cause different re- flections at differing positions in the transmission line. Variations in the “signature” between maintenance intervals offer a good indication of damage or damage causing condi- tions.

Printing

Captured traces may be printed from a PC using Site Master Software Tools. Once a cap- tured trace has been downloaded choose Print under the File menu for printing options. The printer setup can be altered, plots can be scaled, and multiple plots can be printed from the Print dialog box.
