How To Enter Lengths Manually
When you use launch and tail cords that have APC connectors, it is
possible that the tester will not find the connectors when you try
to set up the launch compensation function. If this occurs, enter
the lengths of the launch and tail cords manually.
You can also use the manual-entry method when you do not have
an adapter to connect the launch and tail cords together.
To enter the launch and tail cord lengths manually
1 On the home screen, tap the TOOLS icon, then tap Set Launch
Compensation.
Note
Set Launch Compensation shows on the TOOLS
menu only when an OTDR module is installed.
2 Tap Manual Entry, then tap SET.
3 Tap Launch Cord, use the keyboard to enter the length of the
launch cord, then tap DONE.
Note
You cannot enter a length less than 120.0 m
(393.7 ft) for a singlemode launch cord and 90 m
(295 ft) for a multimode launch cord.
4 If you will use a tail cord, tap Tail Cord, use the keyboard to
enter the length of the tail cord, then tap DONE.
