Function
1 Wire pair plotted from tabular data.
2 The horizontal axis represents frequency data.
3 The vertical axis represents measurements in dB.
4 When a wire pair graph is first displayed, the cursor is automatically positioned at
the worst case limit and frequency point.
5 Actual data plot for a wire pair. Attenuation is plotted in this example.
6 Predefined worst case limit plot for attenuation.
7 Predefined worst case limit plot for NEXT.
8 Actual data plot for a wire pair. NEXT is plotted in this example.
9 Expands or compresses the horizontal axis of the graph. At full magnification, these
keys become inactive.
10 Arrow keys are used to move the cursor horizontally. As the cursor moves, screen
readouts will change to reflect cursor position.
- Use the soft keys to move the cursor in large steps.
- Use the key pad keys to move the cursor in small steps.
- Hold the SHIFT key while using the ARROW keys to make large cursor steps.
