Fault Location
Selections
Factory Default
ON or OFF
ON
Fault Location determines which end of the cable has the first displayed open, short, or miswire
in the tested assembly.

When Fault Location is ON, the tester displays an asterisk next to the pin or pins
closest to the open or short.

When Fault Location is OFF, the fault location information will not be displayed.
Because finding fault locations in the tester takes more time, only the fault locations of the first
five errors are displayed. If fault locations are required for more than five errors, you can correct
the errors and retest the assembly. In most cases, the tester can find the position of the error.
The tester locates opens using capacitance and shorts with resistance. For examples of errors
where Fault Location is used, see Shorts on page 66 and Opens on page 67.
Note: For Fault Location to work well, the custom test fixturing should be no greater than onehalf the length of the wires in the tested device.
Auto Start

Auto Start allows the tester to automatically start testing upon boot up.

If Auto Start is ON, the tester will automatically start testing using the loaded test in
memory.

If Auto Start is OFF, the tester screen will show the main menu.
This feature can be helpful when the tester is built into automated test equipment where the
tester interface cannot be easily accessed.
If you need to access the normal tester interface, once Auto Start has been turned on you may
do so by turning on the tester and pressing CANCEL before the Auto Test countdown expires.
