    Two Pages for circuit details and test results

    Why is there now two pages, one for "GENERIC SCHEDULE OF CIRCUIT DETAILS" and one for "GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS" before it was all on the same page GENERIC SCHEDULE OF TEST RESULTS", which had "CIRCUIT DETAILS", on it, this means writing the cicuits twice?

    Ali-express DY4100 Digital Earth Tester

    Don't worry I haven't gone (completely) mad. About a year ago a ride-on-lawnmower became over-friendly with my long RE test leads while I was drinking tea inside.

    So I'm starting out a new rig and I'm fresh out of college with my level 3 without any experience and I think that I need to still have the knowledge and the practice of terminating cables, stripping cables and having a good understanding of different circuits and how they work. I will also...
