Set Ref (Delta Mode)Horizontal Set Reference establishes the starting point at which the distance
window begins reading the distance to the cursor. If, for example, you have a
3-foot cable leading to a patch panel, you could eliminate this jumper from your
distance readings.
1. Set the 1502C front-panel controls to:
CABLE Attach 3-ft cable
NOISE FILTER 1 avg
VERT SCALE 500 mr (default)
DIST/DIV 1 ft/div (0.25 m)
NOTE. If the POWER was left on from the previous step, return the distance
window reading to 0.000 ft with the
