Splits Test
The Splits test should be run if an Opens Test result shows a "Possible Split or
Water" condition. However, a split condition may exist that is not detected by
the Opens Test, due to the length of the split being fairly short. In this case,
when the pair is known to be split but shows to be good and balanced, you
should run the Splits Test.
The Splits test provides the approximate distance to a split. To
precisely locate a split, it is recommended that you run a TDR test
(see Chapter 6 "TDR Testing and Fault Location" for details).
Figure 4-9 shows an Opens test results screen which reports a possible split.
