locate opens, breaks, and short circuits as well as NEXT and Return Loss
cabling faults quickly and easily.

are shorted. This allows quick identification of the fault location.
Select Diagnostic Wiremap to display the WIREMAP screen. The screen
displays the wire connections between OMNI Scanner and OMNI Remote .
The pairs that are being tested are defined by the selected test standard.
Shield continuity is tested if a shielded cable type is selected. (See Chapter
