TDR method allows to fix multiple irregularities both discrete and lengthy, depending on the ratio of their length and the minimal wavelength of the spectrum of the probe pulse. Table 2 Waveforms of typical irregularities...
  • Page 11 The measurement error can be reduced with the alignment of the device with the line via “COORD.”. The TDR-TA3.3T allows to determine the distance automatically (depending on the selected coefficient of shortening). The distance is equivalent to the cursor location on the screen and is being displayed digitally at the bottom of the screen next to the cursor location.
