Setting the Distance Units and Cable Values (DTF Menu)
The trace can display the entire length (distance) of the cable system being
measured or a smaller portion of the length for better detail.
If it is suspected that there might be a fault at a known distance along a cable,
set the display to show only that area by using the start and stop points. Think of
this as zooming in on a section of the cable. Both the start point (where to begin
the trace display) and the stop point (where to end the trace display) can be set.
