Glossary -- Definitions
A mode of locating using a Line Transmitter to inject a chosen frequency onto a hidden conductor; the frequency is then detected by the
The area within the circle in the center of the operating screen, where the Tracing Line or Sonde Pole and Equator symbols appear.
Coupling of the signal from the target line onto adjacent conductors by any means (resistive, capacitive, or inductive).
A frequency is said to be
A clear signal is a field caused by current through a conductor which is strong enough to be detected unambiguously by a receiver such as the
The condition of receiving a signal too strong to be processed all at once by the signal processor; in the
The use of a connector to ground more than one line through the same ground connection. Phone lines, for example, are often bonded to ground via the electrical service ground line. Common bonding can be a cause of ambiguous signals in locating.
An electromagnetic field caused by the combination or two or more fields in proximity to each other. A compound field has multiple lobes and a complex energy pattern which can require analysis to interpret correctly when locating.
The transfer of energy (without direct electrical contact) between two or more cables or components of a circuit. This can occur through induction, through common bonding, or other means.
A symbol in the center of the Active View Area representing the location of the
