Capacitance/Opens
Note: The accuracy of the 2 Terminal Capacitance Measurement is impacted by
the use of the FED, and the 3 Terminal method is recommended to be used
instead.

Selected Pair allows you to select All Pairs or a single wire pair for
measurement.

Cable Parameters:

Cable Type allows you to select a cable entry (with its associated
parameters) from the current Cable Book, to use for testing. The
selection is not saved when leaving the test. The current Cable
Book entry is shown by default.

Capacitance T-R displays the capacitance value from Tip to Ring in
nF/mi ranging from 10.0 to 500.0.

Capacitance T/R to GND displays the capacitance value from Tip
or Ring to Ground, in nF/mi ranging from 10.0 to 500.0.

Threshold Settings button opens a new page that allows you to set the
capacitance/opens threshold for the test.

Result displays a snapshot of the pass/fail status, Capacitance and
Length for each selected wire pair. Capacitive Balance is shown in %
when All Pairs is selected.

Test Status displays the current state of measurement or an error
message.
