Overview of Memory Functions

You can save test results on a removable memory card or
in the tester’s internal memory. The tester can use
multimedia cards (MMC) or secure digital cards (SD).

To select a location for saving tests, press

S

then

select CURRENT FOLDER on the Job tab.

Tip: To avoid confusion regarding the location of test

records, save test results on a memory card
whenever possible.

You can save results from any fiber test, except the real
time trace.

Each test record can hold bi-directional results from each
type of test (except ChannelMap, which you run in just
one direction). The test direction assigned to saved results
is determined by the THIS END setting (in Setup) used
when the test was run.

You can save the last test you ran anytime before you run
another test. This excludes FiberInspector images and
power meter results, which you must save at the time of
viewing.

If SAVE WARNING on the System tab is enabled, the
tester warns you if you are about to do something that
will delete an unsaved test from temporary memory. The
unsaved test is retained in temporary memory even if you
turn off the tester or remove the battery pack.

Memory Capacity and Card Sizes Supported

The number of test records you can save in a given
amount of memory space depends on what you save in
the records. For example, records that include video probe
endface images take more memory than records without
images.

The maximum amount of internal memory available for
test results depends on the space taken by the tester’s
software and custom limits.

Notes

Memory card folders can store a maximum of
500 records each.

Loss/length tests in Smart Remote mode take up
two records

one for each fiber.
