of different lighting conditions. The backlight is switched on and off with the key

 

Note:

 When switched on, the backlight will significantly shorten the battery life! 

3.5  Set Velocity of Propagation from menu display 

Velocity of propagation (Vp) may be set as % or speed in micro seconds (

µs). The unit of measure, 

the speed is displayed in (feet or meters), will be determined by the setting selected in section 3.1 

Press 

 (

SET

) to move to displayed unit, press 

 to scroll between 

”V/2 m/µs” or ”Vp %Vc”.  

 

To change the value of the V/2 (or Vp) factor, go one level down (press 

SET

 button 

) so that the 

indicator points to the "........ m/

µs" (or "Vp = ...%").  

Pressing the cursor 

 or 

 to increase / decrease the value of the Vp. 

Press 

ESC 

to store selected setting to memory. 

 
Note:

 Setting the correct Velocity of Propagation value is also possible from Trace Display. 

3.6  How to determine V

p

 Settings 

If the TDR-410 is to be used with a cable type for which the Vp is unknown, this must first be deter-
mined by the setting selected in section 3.5 
1. Take a sample of the cable at least 10m or 30 ft long (as long as possible). 
2. Measure the actual length of cable using a rule or tape measure or some other reliable method. 
3. Connect the TDR-410 and adjust the Vp setting such that the tester gives a correct reading of the 
sample length, (refer to section 4.1 Setting cable parameters).
