“Drag-n-Drop”
Site Master Software Tools is Windows based. Graphs can “Drag-n-
Drop” onto each other. Site Master Software Tools allows quick com-
parison of “before” and “after” Distance-To-Fault measurements. Re-
cent data is compared to a historical PC database record, which is
usually recorded during site installation/commissioning.
Each cable/antenna tends to have a unique Distance-To-Fault (DTF)
“Signature” because differing cable electrical lengths, cable types, di-
electric thickness variations, and the positions of components
(connectors, adapters, and lightning arrestors) will cause different re-
flections at differing positions in the transmission line. Variations in the
“signature” between maintenance intervals offer a good indication of
damage or damage causing conditions.
Printing
Captured traces may be printed from a PC using Site Master Software
Tools. Once a captured trace has been downloaded choose Print under
the File menu for printing options. The printer setup can be altered,
plots can be scaled, and multiple plots can be printed from the Print
dialog box.
