  • Patent number: 11041899
    Abstract: In a method for monitoring a line, a measuring signal is fed into a measuring conductor at a start time. The measuring signal is reflected at an interference point or at a line end and the reflected portion is monitored to check whether a threshold value is exceeded. If the threshold value is exceeded, a digital stop signal is generated and the transit time between the start time and the stop signal is analyzed.
