Acquiring the Reference Trace

4. If desired, add comments to specific events (for more information, see

Entering Comments on page 178).

5. If desired, enter information and comments about the current job (for

more information, see Entering Job Information and Comments on
page 47).

6. Once the analysis is complete, save the trace by pressing Save in the

button bar.

If you have activated the autonaming feature, the application will use a
file name based on the autonaming parameters you defined (see
Naming Trace Files Automatically on page 50).

Note: The application will only display the Save As dialog box if you have

activated the feature to always be prompted when you save a file. From
this dialog box, you can change the location, the file name and the file
format.

Note: For easier management, you can name the reference trace as the cable ID

and set the autonaming function to include both the cable ID and fiber
number (for more information, see
Naming Trace Files Automatically on
page 50).
