Padma.
I would recommend doing this with HP VEE program and switch your
signals with a bank of RF relays. The RF relays can be controlled thru
the USB port on your computer with control board connected to each relay. We
did this for a cable company a few
years ago and the system worked nice but was not cheap by no means.
Our test system controlled/switched and tested 65 channels and recorded
the results from TEK TDR test unit in a text/spreadsheet. It only
takes a few milliseconds to run each test.
The TEK unit puts out a list of impedances from each test and can be recorded
for each cable/connector channel.
OH BTW.. Plan on spending between 10K to 30K on the project. On this
type of thing one has to be up front on the cost of the project.
