Saving Data to a Data Base
Plots can be saved to a database. Comments can be added to the plot
data saved. Queries of the data base provide a means of comparing
plots in the data base. Refer to the on-line help screens for operating
instructions.
To save a plot to a database, click on File, in the top menu bar, and
select Save Plot to Database from the drop-down menu.
“Drag-n-Drop”
Site Master Software Tools is Windows based. Graphs can “Drag-n-
Drop” onto each other. Site Master Software Tools allows quick com-
parison of “before” and “after” Distance-To-Fault measurements.
Recent data is compared to a historical PC database record, which is
usually recorded during site installation/commissioning.
Each cable/antenna tends to have a unique Distance-To-Fault (DTF)
“Signature” because differing cable electrical lengths, cable types,
dielectric thickness variations, and the positions of components
(connectors, adapters, and lightning arrestors) will cause different
reflections at differing positions in the transmission line. Variations in
the “signature” between maintenance intervals offer a good indication
of damage or damage causing conditions.
Printing
Captured traces may be printed from a PC using Site Master Software
Tools. Once a captured trace has been downloaded choose Print under
the File menu for printing options. The printer setup can be altered,
plots can be scaled, and multiple plots can be printed from the Print
dialog box.
