Viewing Trace Information

If you are viewing the trace information for a bidirectional trace file you
have created with the Bidirectional File Creator utility, the information you
see is that of the A -> B trace. However, some of the information is
displayed differently :

³

The minimum wavelength is that of both measurements.

³

The maximum wavelength is that of both measurements.

³

The maximum number of SOPs is that of both measurements.

³

The number of averagings is the maximum value of both
measurements.

³

The acquisition range is the maximum value of both measurements.

³

The PMD scale is the maximum value of both measurements.

³

The PMD resolution is the minimum value of both measurements.

³

The distance covered by the OTDR trace is the length of the link.

³

The distance covered by the PMD trace is the length analyzed in
bidirectional mode.
