C Tabs for the setup menus:
• Job settings apply to the fiber installation you are
testing and are stored with saved test results. Use
these settings to identify the job site, set up cable ID
lists, and identify which end of the cabling you are
testing.
•
System settings let you localize the tester and set
other user preferences, such as the power down
timeout and camera type.
• The Cable tab lets you select the type of fiber cable you
will test and define some cable characteristics for
loss/length tests. You can also change the index of
refraction if you do not want to use the default values.
Note
Select a fiber type before selecting a test limit. The
fiber type determines which test limits are available.
•
The OTDR tab lets you select a test limit and wavelength
for OTDR tests and enable launch fiber compensation. You
can also change settings for Manual OTDR mode.
• The Loss/Length tab appears if the installed module
includes the loss/length or power meter option (you can
run loss tests in Far End Source mode with the power
meter option). Use this tab to configure the loss/length
test. See “Using the Loss/Length Option” on page 51 for
details.
Different or additional tabs may be available depending on
the installed module.
