I don't know how that unit does TDR, but many do it with a broadband sweep, then do an inverse FFT to transform frequency to time, looking for reflections, indicating issues with the feedline. Since

If you are trying to determine if the high VSWR problem is with the feedline or the antenna, then the TDR can help with that. If the feedline is good, the TDR should show a single strong reflection a
