Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting and determining discontinuities in a load under test. The apparatus is preferably a digital continuity analyzer that determines, by time duration of a discontinuity signal, discontinuities in a resistive load under test and displays a total count thereof. Circuit characteristics allow for adjustable time periods for determining discontinuities as required by various tests. During the discontinuity determination, the circuit automatically resets when the discontinuity ceases. Total discontinuities are displayed for the length of the test.
