Determining a test pattern
Introduction
Before you attach the cable to the jar, you should determine a testing pattern to make testing a
consistent and fluid process.
Step 1 in Figure 4 shows a connection between the positive and negative posts. Step 2 of the first jar
of string A shows a connection between the negative post and the strap end attached to the next jar.
This connection ensures that you test the entire strap and its connections.
Steps 3 through 15 repeat steps 1 and 2.
Note: Each time you disconnect after a test, the analyzer will power off. When
you reconnect to the next jar post or strap, the analyzer will power up and be
ready to test the next jar or string in the sequence.
