5.2. Instrument Setup
This section describes how to recall a state file for DisplayPort compliance test settings.
The state file can be downloaded from www.agilent.com/find/ena-tdr_dp-cabcon.
If you use your local PC to download, save the state file to a USB mass storage device in
order to move it to E5071C. Connect the USB mass storage device into the front USB port
of the E5071C. For manual settings, refer to Appendix.
1. If TDR setup wizard appears, click Close button on the wizard.
2. Open Setup tab (item 1).
3. Click Advanced Mode (item 2).
4. A dialog box appears requesting for confirmation. Then click Yes. (Clear the check box
for “Use Advanced Calibration Methods”)
5. Click File (item 3) and select Recall State to open the Recall State dialog box.
6. Specify a folder and a file name, and click Open.

5.3. Connection Configuration
This Section describes the screen configuration of the E5071C-TDR and the cable
connection.
Figure 5-1: Measurement screen description.
Channel 1 for time domain measurement is controlled by the TDR user interface at the
bottom of the screen and Channel 2 for frequency domain measurement is controlled by the
soft-key on the right-side of the screen and hard-key on the instrument front panel.
