Preparing for Multiple Acquisitions on a Fiber
Preparing for Multiple Acquisitions on a Fiber
The multiple-measurement mode allows you to make multiple
acquisitions on the same fiber by defining the number of measurements
and the delay between them. The left part of the status bar indicates the
time left until the next measurement.
Results obtained for a specific fiber can be stored in the same file or in
distinct files. It is also possible to append new results to an existing file.
Before being able to use this mode, you must define the general
acquisition parameters as well as the parameters that will be specific to
multiple acquisitions only.
I
MPORTANT
Do not change the test fiber between two acquisitions of a multiple
measurement mode test since parameters set for a specific fiber
may not apply to all fibers.
