The WireScope 350 makes the following test measurements.
Wiremap testing checks for proper continuity and termination of cables.
The test identifies the following faults:
• Short circuit
• Open circuit
• Reversed pairs
• Transposed pairs
• Split pairs
• Shield continuity faults
Length measurements determine the electrical length of cable runs up to
1100 feet (335 meters). Accurate length measurements require accurate
NVP settings. Choosing a cable type from the WireScope's database
automatically loads NVP settings, or the NVP for a cable can be
measured on a sample (see Learning the NVP of a Cable, on page 6-22).

The Propagation Delay test measures the one-way propagation delay
over each pair of the tested cable run. Skew is the difference in
propagation delay between the pairs with the longest and shortest delay
in a cable.
