Notes:
Return Loss & Cable Loss:
Limit should be sent as ( dB * 1000 )
Maximum value sent is 60000 which represents 60.00 dB
Minimum value sent is 0 which represents 0.0 dB
SWR:
Limit is in thousandths (of ratio), so it should be sent as ( ratio * 1000 )
Maximum value sent is 65530 which represents 65.53
Minimum value sent is 1000 which represents 1.00
Set DTF Parameter – Control Byte #7 (07h)
Description: Sets Distance to Fault parameters.
Be aware using this control byte. The distance to fault parameters are all inter-related. Consequently, the control byte must
change all of those parameters at the same time to properly set them.
Enter Start and Stop distances in hundred-thousandths of a meter or foot (12.34m would be sent as 1234000).
Relative Propagation Velocity is in hundred-thousandths (a Relative Propagation Velocity of 0.850 will be sent as 85000).
Cable Loss is in hundred-thousandths of dB/m or dB/ft (–0.345 dB/m would be sent as 34500).
See control byte #29 (1Dh) response bytes 130-137 (Distance), 150-157 (Propagation Velocity & Cable Loss) for current Site
