Abstract
Abstract AN AUTOMATIC CONDUCTOR PAIR IDENTIFIER UTILIZES A COUNTER TO CONTROL THE STEPPING OF A SIGNAL IN SEQUENCE TO THE CONDUCTOR PAIRS OF A MULTICONDUCTOR CABLE. UPON THE DETECTION OF THE SIGNAL OF A CONDUCTOR PAIR AT THE OTHER END OF THE CABLE THE COUNTER STOPS. THE COUNT AT WHICH THE COUNTER STOPS REPRESENTS THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE CONDUCTOR PAIR ON WHICH THE SIGNAL WAS DETECTED. IF A CROSSED CONDUCTOR PAIR IS DETECTED THE COUNTER IS CONTROLLED TO RESUME COUNTING WITHOUT BEING RESET IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE HIGHER VALUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH THE CROSSED CONDUCTOR PAIR.
