Launch and reflected pulses
The display of the 1205CXB shows a launch pulse at the left hand side of the display and a reflected
pulse if any cable imperfections are within range (see “Description” section).
When cursor 2 is positioned at the start of the reflected pulse and the VOP is set correctly, the distance
to the imperfection is displayed in the top right hand corner of the display.
Open circuit and high impedance series discontinuities will result in a positive (upward) reflected pulse.
Short circuit and low impedance shunt discontinuities will give a negative (downward) reflection.
