4.2.3  The  connector  LINE  is  intended  to  connect  the  cables  in  MEASUREMENT  mode 

(see issue 6.3). 

4

.2.4  A  “COORD”.  grip  is  used  only  in  the  MEASUREMENT  mode  for  the  TDR-TA3.3T 

output  resistance  and  the  wave  resistance  of  the  researched  cable  coordination.  The 

minimal magnitude of the amplitude of multiple resampled signals is the most appropriate 

coordination  criterion.  It  is  recommended  to  use  the  buttons 

«

»  and  «

»  with  the 

“COORD.”  grip  at  the  same  time  due  to obtain  the maximal  image frequency  (see  issue 

6.4.6). 

4.2.5 The 

“PULSE” button is used for a quick transition to the “PULSE” selector (see issue 

6.4.1). 

4

.2.6 The “WINDOW” button is used for a quick transition to the “Window”  selector, for a 

measurement window (subrange) adjustment (see issue 6.4.2). 

4.2.7  The 

“LIGHT”  button  is  used  for  a  quick  switching  on/off  of  the  device  display’s 

lightning (see issue 6.12). 

4.2.8  The 

“GAIN” button is used for  a quick transition to the “Intensification” selector, for 

the gain factor adjustment (see issue 6.4.3). 

4.2.9  The 

“OFFSET”  button  is  used  for  a  quick  transition  to  the  “displacement”  selector 

due to adjust the vertically offset of the waveform chart (see issue 6.4.4). 

4.2.10 The 

“Coefficient of shortening” («КУ») is used for a quick moving to the “Coefficient 

of shortening” selector due to adjust the coefficient of shortening (see issue 6.4.5). 

4.2.11  The 

«

»  button  is  used  to  move  a  measurement  window  (subrange)  to  the 

beginning of measurements (see issue 6.9). 

4.2.12  The 

«

»  button  is  used  to  give  a  currently  located  cursor a  zero  distance  (see 

issue 6.8). 

4.2.13  The 

«

»  in  MEASUREMENT  mode  selects  the  memory  menu  mode,  points: 

“EXIT”  –  exit  from  function,  “Exit  from  memory”  –  waveforms  exit  from  the  memory  (the 

“memory” title appears in  the right  corner),  “To memory”  –  saving  a current  waveform to 

the memory. 

4.2.14 The 

«

» and «

» buttons in MEASUREMENT mode is used to adjust the signal 

amplitudes  on  the  screen,  for  a  vertical  offset  of  the  chart,  to  adjust  of  the  probe  pulse
