The HDTDX Analyzer
The HDTDX ™ (High-Definition Time Domain Crosstalk)
analyzer plots the locations and magnitudes of crosstalk on
the cabling under test. The analyzer, along with the tester’s
automatic diagnostics, helps you isolate the causes of NEXT
and ACR-F failures.

Autotest test failed or had a PASS* result, or if HDTDX/
HDTDR in Setup is set to All AUTOTESTs.
