TDR Plot Software

TDRPlot© is a Windows program developed by KANE GeoTech, Inc. to quickly convert both Tektronix SP data files and Campbell Scientific, Inc. datalogger files into a graphing format. TDRPlot© automatically opens DPLOT, an included public domain Windows™ program, and plots selected data as vertical cable signatures. The user can then edit and customize the signatures for including in reports using DPLOT software. It is necessary to have DPLOT installed on the computer.

TDRPlot© is available in Windows™ versions from KANE GeoTech, Inc. or its distributors. Purchase includes a copy of DPLOT. The package, along with instruction, is included with all short courses.

Features:
  • Reads data from Tektronix 1502 and Campbell Scientific TDR100 devices.
  • Reads and charts multiple data files.
  • Generates vertical cable signature graphs using DPlot.
  • DPlot graphs can be customized by the user and included in reports.

TDRPlot© consists of four tabs. The File List tab allows the user to select the data files to be converted. These can either be Tektronix 1502 files or Campbell Scientific TDR100 files. The user adds files to the list that will be plotted. The DPlot tab provides the DPLOT charting program with initial information to label the titles and axes of the plotted data. The actual data can be viewed using the Data tab. The Setup tab allows the user to change default settings and directories for the location of data files.

TDR

We are one of the few firms in the world with expertise in time domain reflectometry (TDR) for landslide monitoring. In fact, Dr. Kane was instrumental in developing the technology for commercial applications to landslides and slope failures. TDR hardware, Field Reflectometer©, and software, TDRPlot©, are available from the company. KANE GeoTech, Inc. uses only quality instruments from reputable manufacturers including the Campbell Scientific TDR100 cable tester.
