Reference Level 
Sets the reference level value used for amplitude measurements. In the Distance to Fault 
measurement, this Reference Level represents return loss in dB.
Example of conversion between a “VSWR” and a “Return Loss”
VSWR = 1.01 => Return Loss = 46.1 dB
VSWR = 6 => Return Loss = 2.9 dB
 Changing the value of the reference level changes the absolute return loss level of the top 
graticule line. The reference level (in selected amplitude units) can be set with the step 
keys, knob, or numeric keypad.
Scale/Div 
Sets the logarithmic units per vertical graticule division on the display.
