DTF Units
By default, X-axis units for DTF measurement settings are displayed in Meters.
How to change DTF units
With a DTF measurement present, press Freq/Dist .

Frequency Mode
All DTF measurements are made with frequency settings and, using Inverse Fast
Fourier Transform (IFFT), the time and distance to faults are calculated.
How to set Frequency Mode
With a DTF measurement present,
Press Meas Setup 4

Choose one of the following:
Typically, you will set the frequency range of the measurement to the passband
of the filter. However, you may also want to test the ability of the filter to reject
unwanted frequencies. In this case, set the frequency range to include those
frequencies which the filter may not be adequately rejecting.
When the DTF frequencies are set manually, they may not be the optimum
frequencies for measuring the distance to fault. The distance may no longer be
alias-free. Learn more about alias-free range on page 35.
