1.12.1 Traces Menu Options
1.12.1.1 Remove Trace
The highlighted trace will be removed.
1.12.1.2 Shows the Trace Number.
This shows the trace number for the current parameter menu, other traces could be Tr2, Tr1 and so on.
1.12.1.3 Add an Additional Trace
Adds a trace to the current display channel.
1.12.1.4 DTF Range
Sets the maximum measurement range and trace X Scale on the DTF graph.
1.12.1.5 Cable Type
There are a number of pre-configured cable types in a pull down menu. This populates items
automatically, if your desired cable is not displayed, select custom and enter items 1.12.1.6 and 1.12.1.7 from your
cable datasheet.
1.12.1.6 Velocity Factor
The relative speed of the radio waves in the desired cable compared to air, being 1.00, Incorrect velocity factor entry can
introduce errors in the distance to fault measurements.
1.12.1.7 Cable Loss Per Unit Length
Length Units can be set in the settings menu. Enter the cable loss per meter.
1.12.1.8 Annotations Switch
If the Annotations switch is on, the entered Limits are overlaid on the display, individual user entered spec limits can be
applied to this trace by switching them on (See item 9).
1.12.1.9 Apply Limits Switches
Spec Limits entered ii the Limits menu can be applied to the selected trace, via an ON/OFF switch in this sub-menu.
1.12.1.10 Open Limits Menu
This will take you directly to the limits edit menu See Section 1.20
1.12.1.11 Override Stimulus Menu
Switch this on to set specific frequency stimulus for this trace.
1.12.1.12 Trace memory
Refer to Figure 21, The Trace memory function will store the currently focused trace into memory by pressing , the
memory icon is a toggle function, a solid symbol indicates the memory has contents already. Memory traces are
indicated by a dotted trace line See Figure 21. If a solid symbol is indicated, pressing it will erase the current memory,
pressing will move the current focused trace into that memory.
1.12.1.13 Trace Group
Traces in the same group are executed in order of trace number. If you have multiple iVA’s connected and want traces to
execute at a similar time, the traces can be allocated to a separate group or groups.
