how to setup Distance-To-Fault, refer to “Distance-To-Fault (DTF)” on page 2-18.
Calibration
For accurate results, the instrument must be calibrated before making any measurements.
The instrument must be re-calibrated whenever the temperature exceeds the calibration
temperature range or when the test port extension cable is removed or replaced. Unless the
calibration type is Flexcal, the instrument must also be re-calibrated every time the setup
frequency changes. See Chapter 3, “Calibration” for details on how to perform a calibration.
Note
Confirm that the instrument is in Cable and Antenna Analyzer mode. Refer to
“Selecting the Cable and Antenna Mode” on page 1-2.
