display. The active marker is moved using the Left/Right (◄►) cursor control buttons.
Find Peak
Moves the cursor to the highest peak in the display window and provides a numeric readout of the distance

Add Cable Type
Allows custom entry of parameters for a user defined cable not on the standard selection list. The soft
key activates a new submenu for entering a Cable Description and the associated cable specifications.
These include the cable Velocity Factor along with the Nominal Attenuation Units for three frequency
points. Pressing the Next soft key advances the menu to each successive Frequency/Nominal Attenuation
entry – see Figure 2.2.6.4-2. The Back soft key returns to the previous entry menu.
Once the entries are completed for three frequency points, pressing the Save New Cable soft key loads the
user defined cable into R8100 memory. The Return key brings the display back to the main Cable Fault
Locator menu. The saved cable entry is now available on the Cable Type selection window.
