Example 1 – DTF with a Short to Measure Cable Length
To measure the length of a cable, DTF measurements can be made with
an open or a short connected at the end of the cable. The peak indicating
the end of the cable should be between 0 dB and 5 dB. In Figure 3-14
on page 3-20 the cable end is at 20.5 meters.
The cable end was found by selecting Marker 3 (Marker > Select M(1-8)
> M3) then using searching for the trace peak (Marker > Marker Search >
Marker to Peak).
Note
If Stop Distance is greater than DMax, increase the number of
data points.
