Stop Distance

Sets the stop distance for a measurement within the cable system.

Note: Set the Stop Distance to a value that is a few feet or meters greater

than the entire length of the cable system to avoid aliasing.

Data Points

Note: This is not an option in the measurement, but affects it.

If the number of data points increases, the measurable distance increases (1409

points results in twice the distance of 705 points, and 11265 points results in six-

teen times the distance of 705 points) (see “Amplitude” on page 137). When the

number of data points being measured changes, the software automatically com-

putes the new maximum measurable distance. If a maximum distance is entered

manually using the DTF Wizard, be sure to select the data points before entering

the max distance. Changing data points does not turn calibration off.

Distance Units

Sets the measurement units. Toggles between Meters and Feet.

Cable

Sets the parameters of the cable being tested.
