I have recently bought a BT Hawk tester, with an intention of using the TDR function to check for damaged cables.
This machine does far more than I was expecting it to, and did not come with a user manual.
I can figure out quite a lot by just playing about with it, but does anyone know how to use it for real? Particularly the TDR function?
I have contacted Spirent, the manufacturers, who have advised that there is a whole section on the BT intranet about the Hawk; unfortunately, I am not a BT employee.
I actually intend to use the machine on plant machinery, to find damage in wiring looms. (I realise this is off-subject, but I'm hoping the people with the knowledge will be in this forum).
I'm not sure what I can offer in return. I'm a bit of an all-rounder in knowledge and experience (jack/master etc.) but might be able to help others, somewhere!
