The R&S ZVH now shows the cable characteristics over the cable's entire length. With
a marker, you can easily detect the distance to the cable fault.
In addition to the distance to fault measurement, the R&S ZVH also features a cable
spectrum measurement and a reflection measurement, for example to test impedance
matching.
Using markers
The R&S ZVH has markers to read out signal levels and frequencies. Markers are
always positioned on the trace. Both the level and frequency at their current positions
are displayed on the screen.
► Press the MARKER key.
The R&S ZVH activates a marker and puts it on the maximum value on the trace.
A blue vertical line represents the position of the marker on the horizontal axis (e.g. the
frequency).
A small blue horizontal dash represents the marker position on the vertical axis (e.g.
the level).
The R&S ZVH shows the coordinates of all markers in a table above the diagram.
Selecting the measurement format
By default, the R&S ZVH shows the magnitude of the cable fault.
For some result displays, you can also select other measurement formats.
► Press the FORMAT/SPAN key.
► Press the softkey labelled with the measurement format you want to see.
