If you pull a waveform using an Acclima TDR that has
“
Waveform Capture
” printed on the label, the entire waveform
at full resolution should show up within several seconds of
clicking the ‘
Get Waveform
’ button.
Older sensors
If you are using an older Acclima sensor without the designation of being
able to capture a waveform, you can still collect a waveform by selecting
that sensor in the list and left clicking ‘
Get Waveform
’ button. The
capture will begin, but due to the older design of the sensor it may take
approximately 15 minutes to generate the graph. If you find that the
capture is taking too long, you can cancel the capture by left clicking the
‘
Stop
’ button.
You are also given options to adjust the data that is collected to speed up
the collection process.

The start time, stop time, and resolution of the gathered data (in
picoseconds) can be adjusted by moving the sliders or by entering the
desired value in the boxes provided. All times are in 5 picosecond steps.
Once the desired parameters have been entered, click the ‘Get Waveform’
button to begin the process.
A waveform graph will then will begin to be generated similarly to the
picture below, (time can vary from a few seconds to 15 minutes depending
on whether you are getting a waveform from a sensor labeled with
“
Waveform Capture
” or not):
