Managing Trace Information

Managing Trace Information

After acquiring a trace, you might want to view details about the
acquisition. The Trace Info. tab shows information related to acquisition
parameters and conditions. You can also edit information about the tested
fiber and job or add comments. This information is saved along with the
trace.

Note: Trace information is available for both active and reference traces, but you

can edit only the trace information pertaining to the active trace.

Note: If you want to apply the settings of the Trace Identification window to the

Preferences tab, select the Use as template option and press OK.

To view trace information parameters:
1.
From the main window, select the Trace Info. tab.

2. For some test types (WDM if there is a reference trace, spectral

transmittance and EDFA), select which trace you want to view.
