2.7.5.3 Measurements and Controls
The screen controls are listed below:
Delay amount (msec): The amount of time delay from the receiver to the transmitter
Signal attenuation (dB): The amount of signal level attenuation from the receiver to the transmitter
Max input level (dBrn): Selects the anticipated maximum receiver signal level. The larger setting allows for
higher-level signals to pass through undistorted to the transmitter and the smaller setting
allows for lower-level signals to pass through with greater accuracy.
2.7.6 Echo Measurement
2.7.6.1 Overview
The echo measurement (Figure 42) provides a method of characterizing the time delay and return amplitude of echoes
in a circuit. The ATS-5X does this by transmitting a stimulus and measuring the response when the Measure button is
pressed—the measurement is not made continuously. For this reason, the echo measurement must be conducted on a
quiet circuit. After the measurement is completed, the delay time and relative magnitude of the echo is displayed on
the screen. If a circuit has multiple echoes, up to five are displayed on the screen, sorted by the time delay of each echo.
The results may be saved to a USB drive in a text file format.
