Processing Traces
In Template mode, you can process traces:
³
directly from the OTDR application (with an OTDR)
³
on an FTB-500 without an OTDR, or on a computer where the OTDR
Viewer or FastReporter is installed.
Operations performed with a module are described in detail in the
following sections. At the end of each section, a note will indicate how to
achieve the same results on a computer.
When you process traces using an OTDR, you acquire the traces as you go
along. When you process traces on a computer, you use traces stored on
disk; therefore, applying the span length is optional.
