This seems odd. The pulse travelled the same distance as for an open or shorted cable. The whole of time domain reflectrometry is based on some sort of echo and you always need to device by two. So why this special case? Florian, do you have access to any erratas? Is this maybe fixed in other revisions/family members? Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch> Andrew
