3.8. Time domain reflectometer (TDR) mode This mode (press F7) displays impulse response and step response graphs which show how electromagnetic wave reflects from discontinuities in a cable. Additionally, a tool tip near the cursor shows estimated value of the impedance of a cable at the corresponding distance. -
Page 15: Calibration Mode
3.9. Calibration mode Although RigExpert analyzers are designed to provide suitable precision without any calibration, a simple “open-short-load” calibration method may be used to improve the result. Moreover, this method may be used to remove the effects of a cable, so accurate measurements at the far end of the cable become possible. - Page 16 Copyright © 2016 Rig Expert Ukraine Ltd. “RigExpert” is a registered trademark of Rig Expert Ukraine Ltd.
