Abstract
A device and method provides for measuring the electrical properties of electronic signal paths, including wires and wireless channels. The device can be used for detecting open circuits, short circuits, and the lengths of wires. The device can include a sensor configured to measure a bulk electrical inductance of said wire to produce a measurement result and a processor configured to extract a length of the wire from the measurement result of the sensor.
