To calculate the distance to the failure:
1.
Determine the time in divisions between the start
of
the + B-Gate squarewave and the reflection caused
by the failure.
For
example, sample oscilloscope signal
II
("712 Sample Oscilloscope Signals" on page 7-10) shows 6.4
divisions to the reflection caused by the open.
2.
Multiply the number
of
divisions times the length per division for the B-sweep setting shown in the
following distance tables.
Sample oscilloscope signal
II
has a B-sweep setting
of
2.0 microseconds. Therefore, the distance to the
failure would be
1267
meters for a twinaxial cable (6.4 x
198)
and
1420
meters for
an
IBM Cabling
System (6.4 x
222).
