2.4. Electromagnetic Compatibility
The TDR100 is Πcompliant with performance criteria available upon request.
RF emissions are below EN55022 limit. The TDR100 meets EN61326
requirements for protection against electrostatic discharge and surge EXCEPT
for electrostatic discharge on the center conductor of the panel BNC connector.
The TDR100 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge
damage. Avoid touching the center conductor of the
panel BNC connector or the center rod of TDR probes
connected to the TDR100. Warning
3. Getting Started with TDR100 using PCTDR
This section lists steps for a simple connection between a computer and the
TDR100 to monitor a single TDR probe using PCTDR software. A single
probe is connected directly to the TDR100, and no multiplexers are used.
TDR100 operation with SDMX50 multiplexers is described in Section 5.4.
1. Install PCTDR
The following instructions assume that drive D: is a CD-ROM drive. If
the drive letter is different, substitute the appropriate drive letter.
• Put the installation disk in the CD-ROM drive. The install application
should come up automatically. If the install does not start, use Start |
Run of the Windows system and type D:/Disk1/Setup.exe or use the
Browse button to access the CD-ROM drive and select the setup
executable file in the Disk1 folder
• The PCTDR Installation Utility is activated. Follow the prompts to
complete the installation.
2. Use the supplied 9 conductor cable to connect a computer to the
RS-232 connector on the TDR100
The RS-232 connector on the TDR100 is used for communication
between a serial communication port of a computer and the TDR100. A
9-conductor cable is supplied with the TDR100. Serial communication
