Measure Off
Press this submenu key to start any PIM measurement. When a measurement is being made, Measure is underlined on this submenu key, and the key is highlighted in red (see Figure: Test Submenu Key Highlighted in Red). Also, the red RF‑ON light on the top of the PIM Master is On during a measurement (except Noise Floor).
When the measurement time is completed (Setup > Test Duration), Off is underlined on this submenu key. While a measurement is being made, press this submenu key to immediately terminate the active measurement.
PIM vs. Time
Press this submenu key to set the instrument into the PIM versus Time measurement mode. In this measurement, Tx power is On.
Noise Floor
Press this submenu key to test for Rx interferers before making a PIM measurement. In this measurement, Tx power is Off.
The Noise Floor Test key is shown in the Noise Floor Menu.
Distance‑to‑PIM
Press this submenu key to set the instrument into the Distance‑to‑PIM measurement mode.
Swept PIM
Press this submenu key to set the instrument into the Swept PIM measurement mode.
Trace Overlay
Off DTP DTF
Press this submenu key to toggle Trace Overlay Off and On for Distance‑to‑PIM or Distance‑to‑Fault. This submenu key is displayed only in Distance‑to‑PIM measurement mode. Use this key to view the trace, as described in Trace Overlay. If no previous DTP trace is stored, then setting this key to DTP automatically copies the active trace to memory.
DTF toggles on the current DTF trace or a DTF trace from memory as an overlay for subsequent DTP measurements. If no DTF trace has been loaded, then DTF cannot be selected. Refer to Trace Menu, Distance‑to‑PIM for instructions for loading a DTF trace.
Save Measurement
Press this submenu key to open the Save menu and its dialog box. Then enter a name and save the current measurement to file. The file type defaults to measurement, and the appropriate extension is added, based on the current measurement mode.
