Capacitance/Opens
Capacitance/Opens
The Capacitance/Opens test measures the capacitance of the loop and
calculates length. Capacitive balance is also measured when all pairs are
selected.
Snapshot
The capacitance/opens Snapshot shows measured
Capacitance values and Length for each lead
combination. The parameters are as follow:

Current Group is the current test group name, for
example Multimeter.

Current Test displays the test being measured.
When FED is Enabled, the FED icon and numeric
state are displayed beside the Current Test.
Here you can switch to another test from the given
list. However, this action will terminate the
ongoing measurement test.
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.
