OTDR 207
12 Creating and Printing Trace
Reports
For future reference, you can add notes on the location and identification
of the tested fiber, type of job performed and general comments related to
a trace in trace reports. You can specify which information must be
included in your printed documents.
You can recall a trace in the OTDR application, modify the related
information and save the changes with the trace.
Editing information from the Report window does not automatically
change the setups on the Cable tab of the Setup dialog box. Furthermore,
it does not automatically update the information in traces that have been
generated, if they are not currently loaded in the test application except
when operating in Template mode.
You can save the newly entered information to the cable setup. You can
also recall the default information from the cable setup and save it in the
open trace.
Adding Information to the Test Results
After acquiring a trace, you might want to include or update information
about the tested fiber and job or add comments. The information you enter
is saved only for the currently open trace file.
Note: The information must be entered before acquiring traces in Template
mode. For more information, see Testing Fibers in Template Mode on
page 93.
I
MPORTANT
From the Report/Documentation window, you can modify

However, this information will NOT be used for future acquisitions
automatically. If you want to enter information that will be used for
future acquisitions, see Defining Cables on page 28.
