Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to testing of communication circuits, and more particularly to an improved apparatus and method for providing and detecting tones for discovery and maintenance, and even For tracking communications, it is used for laying electricity. [Prior Art] In the work of remote communication laying, a typical function involves identifying a specific SEM line between a plurality of EM lines, or setting its position. For example, it may be desirable to determine the location of the electrical line at a distal end relative to the - contact. According to the prior art, a tuner positioning system is employed in which a speech tone generator is connected to a position on a money line, and a detector or tone probe is used along the other side of the electric thin line to detect The tone attempts to identify the SEM line carrying the tone and is isolated from other electrical I lines. Such an attempt to isolate can occur away from the position of the tone generator. Some practical problems arise when using such a tuner system. The locator system of the tuner was originally used in telephone communication systems, but now it is also used in computer networks. However, for example, a computer network of $100 million per second uses a common mode terminal, and due to the common mode terminal configuration; attenuating its pitch', the current tuner device does not work. Due to the network device terminal, it causes the signal to be too weak and difficult to detect at a remote location. Similarly, sometimes in the case of special wiring, the number of 1359276 % added to the tone by the tone will be too strong, resulting in additional sound and leakage to other wiring on the given cable. Among them, or among other cables, it is difficult to judge the actual cable to which the male p4 is applied as a voice signal. In particular, the coupling of the 1Khz signal applied to the CAT5 cable is reluctant and the signal strength on the two adjacent cables may be similar at the distance from the chirp generator, making it difficult to determine which cable to use. Is interested. These arguments lead to a waste of time, not because of the erroneous recognition caused by the leak, but because of the weak signal, the position of the cable cannot be determined. Requires some level of experience in order to effectively use such a tuner system and to hear the right tones, with fluorescent lighting, coffee, and other devices typically found in most commercial buildings. It can then be over the cable that can be detected by the tone probe. A typical conventional tuner system as described with reference to Figure 5 utilizes a Khz high power square wave generator m to apply a speech signal to the cable 1 12 to be tested. The generator i 1〇 typically has two states, on or off. Some generators may have an option to select between 2 or 3 fixed frequencies and a square wave frequency. (d) Two pieces of clip conductor 113 allowed to be connected to the (4) connection or via a network connector 115 to connect the generator to the cable to be tested. The hand-held tone sensor probe (4) for an amplifier contains - a sensor tip # "6, and a speaker "8, and detects and converts this square wave to a voice 1Khz tone (or applied The tone of any signal frequency) can be heard from the speaker. Since the tone probe is usually highly responsive and can detect and signal the signal from the Yang 1359276 on the tone probe, the tuner probe can also generate feedback. In use, the conventional tone generator is manually connected to the cable to be tested and turned "on" such as on different floors of the building, after the technician:! Move the probe away from a remote location. After the tone generator and moving to a remote location, the technician can understand that a different match may be required: Second, for example, a technician may now wish to use two 'lines' in a (10) cable to act as a single wire, by properly connecting the tones The generator, the ^^ line provides a strong radiation signal. However, because the tone is generated: the technician must now return to the generator position and adjust the connection, and then return to the remote power test position, wasting time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an electrical regulation system uses a generator _ number generator that generates a plurality of master A k numbers for the continuation of the power to be tested. Some of the selected rupture sensor probes are tracked and described. The purpose of the type of gas is to provide an improved probe and tuner type cable test system. θ state The present invention further improves the method of detecting and detecting the sound of the network cable by using the itl? Β ΑΑ /4 dial 辋i. Hash Another H% & and improved illuminating work of the present invention is used for cable position isolation, improved methods and devices. In particular, it is clear that the subject matter of this invention is set forth in the conclusions of this patent specification. And the advantages and the objects of the present invention, and the similar reference numerals are used to refer to similar components. [Embodiment] ~/1' is a block diagram of a tuner and a probe system, and the tuning device 10 includes a circuit that provides modulation and line control to the line driver. . The micro-processing|| 12' is suitably attached to the electrical (2) via a suitable connector such as a connector, which provides a carrier input for a typical network. A carrier generation block 16 (4) also provides input to the line driver 14. "The probe 22 is separated from the tuning g 1〇, and the probe 22 is positioned to be in the position of the electric power, and the position of the probe 22 is included and the signal is supplied to the antenna 24 of the front-end disk carrier band-passing block 26 The output of block 26 is fed to both carrier demodulation block 28 and analog to digital (A/D) converter block 32, and each of blocks 28 and 32 is supplied with a signal to give a microprocessor. 3〇. As for the carrier demodulation variant & 28, given a demodulated signal of the microprocessor, for synchronous detection, the same day A/D converter will provide the signal strength value to the microprocessor. The operation of the tuner/probe is different from the prior art iKhz tone and probe type devices. Under the control of the micro-processing $12, the tuner's carrier-generated block provides a carrier of 455Khz. In order to provide a tone that can be detected even with prior art probes, the carrier is to be Μ. Or 2Khz speed (four) start and shut down ^ 2Khz rate (4) used in the synchronization phase to be discussed under 1359276, while i Khz modulation is used in other times. The probe 22 demodulates the 455 Khz carrier and measures the time interval of the modulation. The signal strength is determined by the A/D block, which provides a measure of the automatic gain control signal strength of the carrier. For example, the tuner can be suitably configured to drive the individual conductors in the cable separately. In operation, the tuner system produces a tone packet containing various different scales associated with the synchronization phase. Referring now to Figure 2, an illustration of a tone packet configuration for a preferred embodiment is provided, the plurality of quantities being provided as follows, each of which suitably comprises 1 milliseconds in a particular embodiment. First, two sync quantities, Syncl and Sync2, are provided to supply the synchronization of the probes to the tone mask 2. SynCl suitably includes 455Khz carrier modulation at 2〇Z, and assumes an 8 conductor (4 pairs) cable, which involves driving the conductor pair in a single polarity, driving the other two pairs in opposite polarity, And allow the 4th pair to float (unbalanced). Sync2 floats conductor 2, drive conductors 3 and 4 are positive and 5 and 6 are negative. Furthermore, a version (Versi〇n) that can be used to indicate a particular feature is provided: for example, in the preferred embodiment, any occurrence of the display during the amount of the display is enabled and the amount of wiring is enabled. (The following will be explored. Inch) will appear. After Versi〇n, a Wg# quantity indicates which: the song " is used for the probe, such as when an audible warning is generated that the gambler is not in use. This feature is effective when the cable is positioned more than one person 5 in the same area. The so-called "tune" of the first technician is not detected by the second technician in error 1359276. As a result, the second technician mistakenly recognized the cable, thinking that it was the tone that the second technician had applied to the cable. At this point, 'providing a near cable (NearCable) amount. The near cable phase is designed to provide the smallest cable from the cable. Radiation, which will minimize the 'leakage' with other electric slabs and allow the user to correctly identify the cable that has been tuned. This stage uses the twisted pair cable pair's normal characteristics to drive the opposite polarity to each pair. Twisted pair (for example, it is possible to drive wires 1, 3, 4, and 7 to be positive while driving wires 2, 5, 6, and 8 to be negative). Next, generate 4 "mega" Phases Megal2, Mega36, Mega45, and Mega78, which are applied to the other two pairs by applying an unbalanced signal of one of the specified polarities to the other two pairs during the four phases. And by allowing the last pair of floats, the maximum k radiation is generated from the electric lining. The inventors have determined that the use of such a signal application will provide a better signal. In other words, during the phase of Megai2, The balanced signal will be on the wiring pair 2, while the opposite polarity signal will be on the other two pairs, while the fourth pair will float. During the Mega36 phase, the unbalanced signal is in the wiring pair 3, 6 And so on. Drive the two wires of a particular pair of wires with the same polarity. In the particular embodiment described here, the probe will gain signal strength during these Me" phases and configure the probe for Sampling 4 readings in any particular amount, and using the maximum level measured during a particular phase to act as the signal strength value for this particular packet. If the Version amount is so indicated, the WiM, WiM, %, U, wire3, wire4, Wire5, Wire6, Wire7, wire8, and then 10 Ϊ 359276 will appear at this time. In the wiring diagram phase, all cables are wired. Stop, and during the individual phases, the by '| " value is applied to each of the individual lines. In other words, during the amount of Wirel, apply "" to the period of Wire2, and apply "i" to Wire2, during which the "1" is applied to wire3, in Wire4 During the period, the .1" is applied to Wire4, and during the amount of Wire5, "Apply to: ire5" during the amount of Wire6, T is applied to Wire6, and during the period, " ;Γ, applied to wire7, during the period of Wire8, during the period of "1" applied to Wire8' and wireSh, apply "i" to cable shield (example of single protective cable configuration in 8 conductors) During the period of the wiring diagram, the energy applied to the wiring is a voltage standard.
