Setting Storage Parameters

Setting Storage Parameters

Each time you save a trace, the unit suggests a file name based on
autonaming settings. After saving a result, the unit prepares the next file
name by incrementing the suffix.

File names: maximum of 20 characters for prefix and 3 digits for suffix.

By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in Bellcore (.sor) format.

Note: If you select the Bellcore (.sor) format, the unit will create one trace file per

wavelength (for example, TRACE001_1310.sor and TRACE001_1550.sor, if
you selected both 1310 nm and 1550 nm for your test). The native format
contains all wavelengths in a single trace file.

To set the autonaming scheme:
1.
Press Menu, select Setup > OTDR, and then press Enter.

2. Use the left/right function arrows until you see Storage, and then

display the pane (F1/F2 key).

3. Use the up/down arrows to select File name prefix or File name

suffix.

4. Press Enter to display the

on-screen keyboard

.

5. Enter the name (prefix) or number (suffix), and then press OK

(F1/F2 key) to hide the keyboard.
