Files: Overlay Mode

Different types of sweeps can be stored as references. The SDA instruments
mark them differently, and display FDSWP for forward references, RVSWP
for reverse references, LOOP for Loopback references, and SWPLS for
Sweepless references. The file name and date stored are also shown for
each file.
If the channel plan has changed since a reference was stored, the reference
is obsolete and can no longer be used. If you select an obsolete reference, a
warning message appears when the program enters Sweep mode, and the
default reference will be used. Acterna recommends that obsolete
references be deleted to free memory for additional references and files.
With Overlay mode selected, you can compare a stored sweep file with the
current system sweep response. This allows you to compare two locations in
the cable system, or to compare two sweeps from the same point, but from
different times. By overlaying the files on each other, you can quickly see
any differences.
Activate Overlay mode in the main SWEEP configuration menu by turning
on Sweep File Overlay.

½ The Sweep File Overlay option is covered in Chapter 4, in
"Sweep Configuration" (page 64).
With Overlay mode on, a sweep file selected for viewing modifies the current
display (see Fig. 11-4). The sweep file is displayed as a gray area (instead of
the usual black), and the current sweep response is displayed as a black line
in front of the file.
