Problem: 
The ORL button is not present on the ORL measurement setup page of the PCT application following a DUT measurement.
Solution: 
The ORL button is present on the ORL measurement setup page of the PCT application as long as the RL trace from the last DUT measurement remains in memory. There are two possible reason for the ORL button not to be present: 1) Live Mode is turned on 2) The DUT measurement setup is configured to measure IL only Live Mode continuously performs an RL measurement, and each time overwrites the previous trace in memory. If Live Mode is on when you perform a DUT measurement, software automatically disables it, makes the measurement, records the results, and turns Live Mode on again. At that point, the DUT RL measurement trace is overwritten by the Live Mode measurement so when you go into the ORL measurement setup, the ORL button will not be present. When IL only mode is enabled, there is no RL measurement performed on the DUT and therefore no RL evaluation that can be performed. Solutions: 1) Turn off Live Mode before making a DUT measurement 2) Disable "IL Only" mode on the DUT measurement setup page
