Re: Cable Fault Detection
real mode will do you. I've used the NanoVNA on Cat 5 network cables. SMA to BNC: BNC to clipleads (EZ-Hook variety).

Log mag is *always positive* (it's absolute value).. Yeah, you need to be in a linear signed mode

Re: Cable Fault Detection
I was just trying to point out that if you have a choice between using a short or open on any device, the short would minimize or eliminate interference that might enter the end of the cable. Joe

Re: Cable Fault Detection
Joe.. What I'm trying to do is locate a short or open in a multi-channel audio snake. I really can't afford the high priced spread...

Re: Cable Fault Detection
I do fault locating with the Anritsu SiteMaster and the CellMaster. I prefer to use a short when testing because it seals off the end of the cable and avoids/reduces interference. This can help when

Re: Cable Fault Detection
Roger...I was in Logmag mode. I'll try Real tomorrow Jim...In Logmag mode the short and open appear identical as far as I can tell

Re: Cable Fault Detection
It should work identically - short and opens have 180 degree difference in the phase of the reflection, and that shows up in the synthetic TDR from the frequency sweep.

Re: Cable Fault Detection
If you turn on Transform and select Low Pass Impulse you are in "TDR mode". You need to set trace to "Real" and then you will see the difference between a short and an open. Roger

Cable Fault Detection
I realize this is similar to a recent topic but a bit different. As the "TDR" function in the nanovan is not actually a time-domain process, is there a wat to differentiate between a short or open

Re: #measurement - Torroid

43 or 31 material are appropriate for HF applications. 43 is better for 20-meters upward and 31 material is best for 160 through 40 meters. If you are sure you have 43 material, there really is no
