Setting the Distance and Units
Distance to Display on the Trace (start, stop)
The trace can display the entire length (distance) of the cable system
you are measuring or a smaller portion of the length for better detail.
If you suspect that there might be a fault at a known distance along a
cable, you can set the display to show only that area by using the start
and stop points. Think of this as zooming in on a section of the cable.
You can set both the start point (where to begin the trace display) and
the stop point (where to end the trace display).
Note: You cannot set the stop point to a value that is
greater than the maximum distance you are measuring. For
example, if you have selected a data point option, frequency
span, and Vp that results in a maximum distance of 100 feet,
you cannot set a stop point to a value greater than 100 feet.
Follow the numbered steps in Figure 25, page 57 to set the start and
stop distance. For an antenna lead, you will typically set the start dis-
tance at 0, and the stop distance at a few feet or meters greater than
the tower height.
Follow the numbered steps in Figure 26, page 58 to set the distance
units.
