Setting the Distance Units and Cable Values (DTF Menu)
The trace can display the entire length (distance) of the cable system being
measured or a smaller portion of the length for better detail.
If it is suspected that there might be a fault at a known distance along a cable,
set the display to show only that area by using the start and stop distance. Think
of this as zooming in on a section of the cable. Both the start distance (where to
begin the trace display) and the stop distance (where to end the trace display)
can be set.

Windowing
Windowing is an option on the FlightHawk-AV that will digitally average the data
on the displayed trace, in effect, making the trace appear smoother. In some
situations, it will make individual problems easier to spot, but in others it may
mask details that are needed. Experimentation is the key word.
1.
Select the Window.
2.
Select the corresponding window style.
Note:
• Default is Normal
• Minimum - will show all the detail in the trace. In some situations it
can be difficult to spot individual problems.
• Maximum - will add the most digital averaging of the display and can
make some problems “disappear” or actually test as passing.
