I am testing the continuity of several cables with DMM 4060 and SCXI 1127 in 1 wire mode. Since i can't connect the wires in the cable at the other end, i'm trying to use a saline solution and insert the cables in it with it's electrode connected to 1_WIRE_LO_REF. But unfortunately i'm getting a very high value of the resistances and it keeps increasing. Why is it so? Has anybody used a saline solution for providing conductivity and measuring with DMM 4060 or SCXI 1127?
Is there any other alternative ? How can i provide a common connection from 1_WIRE_LO_REF without making actaul connections?
