The DIAGNOSTIC tab shows the HDTDR analyzer button, which
you can tap to see the HDTDR plot. The plot helps you find faults
on the cable. The HDTDR plot for coaxial cable includes limit lines
and a PASS/FAIL result. See “The HDTDR Analyzer” on page 194.
The overall result for the test:
The results exceed the limit.
The results are within the limit.
The selected test limit does not have a limit for the test.
The results are within the range of accuracy uncertainty
for the tester. See “PASS*/FAIL* Results” on page 98.
The measurement shown for the insertion loss plot is the worst
value if the test passed, or the worst margin if the test failed.
When more than one button shows at the bottom of the screen,
the tester highlights one in yellow to recommend which one to
tap. See “Buttons to Do Tests and Save Results” on page 61.
