2 Change the
Scale
until you see two positive going edges on screen
(Figure 7-3).
The left-most edge is the incident step and starts at 0 mV and goes to 200 mV.
The right-most edge is the reflected step that has traveled from the TDR step
generator to the end of the cable and back to the TDR sampler. This step starts
at 200 mV and goes to 400 mV.
