10 Analyzing the Results

Manually

Once a trace has been acquired or opened, you can use markers and
zoom in on or out of any event or trace segment to measure splice loss,
fiber section attenuation, reflectance, and optical return loss.

Selecting the Attenuation and Loss Values that

Will Be Displayed

By default, in the Measure tab, the application only displays the values
obtained by using the same measurement methods as the analysis, that is
the four-point event loss and the A-B LSA attenuation.

Note: This function is available in Advanced mode only.

You can display the values corresponding to the following measurement
methods:

³

For loss:

³

Four-point event loss

³

A-B LSA (Least-Square Approximation) loss

³

For attenuation:

³

Two-point section attenuation

³

A-B LSA (Least-Square Approximation) attenuation

Note: You must select at least one measurement method for loss value and one

measurement method for attenuation value.
