Streamer on winch, with this configuration:

1. "Lead-in" = Stretch section, 50 m, S/N: ??
2. Scrambler adapter 25 m GL, 1 m, S/N: ??
3. Active section HSSG, 100 m, S/N: ??
4. Active section HSSG, 100 m, S/N: ??
5. Active section HSSG, 100 m, S/N: ??

Test equipment:

• Kalamos M-4 Fault Locator S/N: w/switch panel
• Multimeter Fluke 89-IV, measuring capacitance.

  A = GX600 conn

1. Capacitance test

• SW1 = EXTERNAL
• Multimeter to output labelled "ACTIVE"
• B switch down, for each trace
• 25 m Group Length >> 90 nF group capacitance on HSSG sections

Results:

Conclusion: OK
