Abstract
This disclosure is concerned with a process for connecting a short detector to electrical nodes in such apparatus as backplanes, cables and circuit boards before components are assembled thereto, to identify shorted node pairs in a substantially smaller number of tests than required by previously known methods, through a novel binary screening and then binary searching technique; the invention being especially efficient in the case where no shorts are present.
