TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) - Option 215
TDR Measurement Settings
—Press Sweep 3
—Then TDR Sweep 
— Choose one of the following:
— Auto
 Low pass frequency settings are calculated based on the 
current number of points. The Stop Frequency and Resolution 
settings can be changed to any value.
——To set Stop Frequency, press Meas 4
, then Settings, then 
scroll to Auto: Max Freq. 
——To set Resolution, press Sweep 3
, then Resolution.
— Cable
 Provides a higher resolution measurement. Use when 
under-sampling is suspected. The Stop Frequency is limited to 500 
MHz maximum. The Resolution is fixed to 1601.
Frequency Mode 
All TDR measurements are made with frequency settings and, using Inverse 
Fourier Transform (IFT), the time and distance to faults are calculated.
How to set Frequency Mode
With a TDR measurement present,
—Press Meas Setup 4
—Then Freq Mode 
— Choose one of the following:
— Lowpass
 The frequency range of a TDR measurement is set 
automatically based on the Start and Stop Distances. Use Lowpass 
mode when the DUT is a cable ONLY.
— Bandpass
 This setting changes the measurement to DTF. Bandpass 
is NOT ALLOWED with TDR because the DC component is required 
for TDR measurements. 
Because of its greater measurement accuracy, Cable is the default setting 
in CPU1 units with firmware A.08.18 and greater and CPU2 units with 
firmware A.09.57 and greater. Refer to “Preferences” on page 515.
The start and stop frequencies for the measurement are always annotated 
on the screen below the start and stop distances.
