The Stop distance may be different from the Length 
selected due to the screen resolution. 
The Start and Stop distances are also affected by 
zooming and panning. 
Panning
If you move the cursor to the right side of the screen, 
the screen will “pan” or move to the right. 
If you move the cursor to the left side of the screen 
(and the start distance is greater than 0 feet or 
meters), the screen will “pan” to the left.
Vertical Offset
If the cursor is moved to a position on the TDR 
trace that is out of viewing range (above the top 
of the screen or below the bottom), the trace is 
shifted up or down to bring it  into view. The 
 
x axis (horizontal) will not move. The vertical  
offset will be maintained until the cursor is moved  
to another point 
Move Cursor: [Left] [Right]
Use the [Left] [Right] arrow keys to move the cursor 
across the screen. The distance from the 965DSP 
to the cursor is always shown in the center of the 
distance bar.  Always place the cursor to the left side 
of an event to determine distance to the event.   
Note:  Always subtract the five foot length of the 
test leads from the distance measurement for 
highest accuracy.
Distance Bar
Start   0    1525 ft  3000  Stop
The “Start” and “Stop” numbers shown in the 
distance bar are the distances from the test set to the 
left and right side of the screen.   
Zoom:    x1, x2, x4, x8, x16
Zoom allows you to set the horizontal gain of the 
TDR.  Higher Zoom will spread out the trace and 
make it easy to identify the start of an event.
