Unlabeled or unknown cables with complex internal wiring may
cause damage if connected to inappropriate equipment, or may go
unused or be discarded. To avoid problems like these, you may
measure an unknown cable and search the database for a match to
its wiring. If CableEye locates a match, it loads it and displays
the descriptive notes to give you the cable's name and some information
about it. Start
1 +
| - Measure
a cable using Test Cable. Then click "Search Database".
2 +
| - If a
matching cable is found, it loads immediately for your review.
3 +
| - If an
exact match is not found, a "Search Type" window appears
allowing you to repeat the search with different conditions set.
Click the desired button to search again. This window will reappear
if that search fails too. Continue trying conditions until you
find a match, or click "Cancel" to stop.
4 + | - If you would like to automatically search the database after Test Cable, turn on the "Auto Search after TEST" option in "Preferences/Control". With this option on, the database will be searched silently after each test. If an exact match is found and the match buffer is empty, the new match will be loaded automatically.
