Displaying the Top Four Faults

Displaying the Top Four Faults
When measuring distance to fault, you can display the top four faults with markers on the trace. Even if the Fault Indicators are not set to On, the position and the severity of the top four cable faults are still listed in the Metrics Display section at the bottom of the screen.
If your Start Distance is 0 m (0 ft), you will see a peak corresponding to 0 m (0 ft). This is caused by reflection from the junction between your analyzer and the cable under test. This DC component, sometimes referred to as the "dead zone", does not necessarily indicate a problem, but be sure that the connection is tight and clean.

On [Fault Indicators] select On.
Each time you press this softkey, the selected option changes. When set to On, the positions of the top four faults are indicated on the trace with four numbered yellow triangles. If you have Pass/Fail Limits set to On, the yellow triangles will be colored red for any faults that exceed your pre-defined limit. For more information on setting Pass/Fail limits, see "Setting the Pass/Fail Limits"
