A loading  The reflectogram from memory is shown as a 

dotted line, the reflectogram currently taken is 
shown as a continuous line.

Use key combination 2nd Recall for a quick download of a trace from 
memory location 1.  

The traces stored in memory can later be used for processing or for 
printing out a hardcopy. It is also possible, however, to upload them to a 
PC using the PC software program 

Winkis Com

 which is available as an 

optional extra. For printing out a reflectogram it is important first to use 
Recall to load the trace from memory before pressing key Print. Another 
benefit of the memory mode is that it simplifies fault locating and diagnosis. 
When a number of test objects with identical cable characteristics are 
tested, the entire test set-up can be taken over from a reflectogram already 
stored in a memory location, so fault locating can be started without any 
delay. The memory mode also allows a current reflectogram to be 
compared with up to 50 reflectograms stored in memory.
