Using FunctionsSome Helpful Hints52Holding a measurementThe user may hold (pause) a measurement.• Pressing [HOLD/RUN] hardkey pauses (holds) ameasurement, and displays the last trace scan.• Pressing the [HOLD/RUN] hardkey again will restartthe measurement.Quick access to freq/dist setupsPressing [FREQ/DIST] allows the user to quickly accessto frequency or distance setup submenu:• When the measurement mode is SWR, return loss orcable loss, pressing [FREQ/DIST] hardkey accesses asubmenu for the frequency range configuration.• When the measurement mode is DTF-SWR, orDTF-return loss, pressing [FREQ/DIST] hardkeyaccesses a submenu for distance and DTFmeasurement configuration.Connector CareConnectors quality is a critical link for a precisionmeasurement. RF connectors are manufactured toextremely precise tolerances and must be used andmaintained with care to protect the measurementaccuracy and repeatability.Taking proper care of cables and connectors will protectyour tester’s ability to make accurate measurements.Inaccurate measurements often result of improperconnections, dirty, or damaged connectors.Worn, damaged, out of tolerance, or dirty connectorsdegrade the accuracy and repeatability of RFmeasurements.CAU -CAU TI O N Always take proper electrostatic precautions before touchingthe center conductor of any connector, or cable that isconnected to the tester.
