Abstract: A differential probe provides a probe input which comprises two inputs for recording a first and second input signal. The differential probe further provides a first amplifier which is connected to the two inputs. The differential probe additionally provides a compensation device, which generates and superposes on the first and second input signal a differential offset signal. The compensation device also generates a common-mode offset signal which is independent of the differential offset signal.

Abstract: According to the invention, a user connection cable (TAL) that is to be associated with a user connection circuit (SLIC) and is used for connecting at least one user (TN) to at least one communication network is verified regarding switching on of a positive distribution voltage in the strands (a, b). The user connection circuit (SLIC) is initially switched to the silent interval mode and a test impedance (I) is switched between the strands (a, b) of the user connection cable (TAL), whereupon the current (i) flowing across the strands (a, b) and the voltage (u) to ground of a strand (b) are measured. Advantageously, the measurements are taken via measuring devices disposed on the user connection subassembly (SLMA).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for testing the function for inverting the polarity on a subscriber connection line (TAL) comprising several wires (a, b), in order to connect at least one subscriber to a subscriber connection line (SLM), which comprises at least one inverting device (RG) and a current measuring device (MG) which is associated with the inverting device (RG). In a first step, the subscriber connection component (SLM) is separated from the inverting device (RG) and forces physical inversion on the wires (a, b) of the subscriber connection line (TAL). In a second step, the inverting function of the inverting device (RG) is activated. In a subsequent third step, the subscriber connection component (SLM) is separated from the device (DC) which forces the physical inversion and is connected to the inverting device (RG). The correct function of inversion is tested during all three steps by measuring the direction of the current flow.

Abstract: An adjustment and current-measurement method for a subscriber line circuit of a digital telephone exchange is integrated in the low-voltage section of the subscriber line circuit. A previously determined disturbance variable, which is stored in the low-voltage section with a reversed mathematical sign, is added to the currents which are to be measured, for example, for an adjustment of the supply current or of the operability of the subscriber line circuit. This makes it possible to carry out a current measurement for already corrected current levels.
