Fluke DTX Series - Creating a List of Sequential IDs

Tutorials on Setup and Test Procedure
Using the Auto Increment and Sequential Cable ID Features 2
2-21
Consecutive digits increment from right to left, but other
characters do not.
Letters increment through the alphabet shown on the
text editing screen:
1A, 1B, 1C…1Y, 1Z, 1Ç…1Û, 1Ü, 1A
To use the sequential ID feature:
1 Turn the rotary switch to SETUP.
2 Use
D to highlight Instrument Settings; then
press
H.
3 Press
H to select Cable ID Source.
4 Press
H to select Auto Increment.
5 Run a test; then press N.
6 Enter an ID in the ID: box.
7 Press
N again.
The next time you run a test and press N, the
incremented cable ID appears in the ID box. Press
N
again to use the ID.
Creating a List of Sequential IDs
The tester includes templates for creating a list of
sequential IDs. Three of these templates meet the
ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A standard for documenting cabling
installations, as summarized in the next section. A fourth
template lets you create your own ID pattern.
Letters and numbers in sequential IDs increment from
right to left. The following characters are not
incremented:
• Special characters: / # * - . , : [ ] space
• Characters that match between the start and stop IDs.
For example if the start and stop IDs were ROOM1
and ROOM25, the characters “ROOM” would not
increment.
