Preparing for Multiple Acquisitions on a Fiber
³
In the Measurement Count box, specify the number of
measurements the Polarization Mode Dispersion Analyzer will take
on the same fiber.
³
In the Measurement Interval boxes (h, m, s), specify the delay
between each measurement.
³
If you want the application to prompt you when an error occurs,
from the displayed dialog box, select the Show Error Message
After Measurement check box. However, be aware that, with this
option, the application interrupts the current test until someone
acknowledges the message.
³
If you want all results pertaining to a specific fiber to be saved to
the same file, select the Save in Same File check box.
Do the same if you want the new results to be appended to an
existing file and ensure that the desired file is open before starting
the test. For more information on opening result files, see Viewing
Acquisition Results and Information on page 44.
5. When you are done, click OK to confirm the new settings or Cancel to
discard changes.
The parameters that you have just set will be used when you make a new
acquisition.
