Adding Information to the Test Results

Note: You can view traces from non-EXFO test equipment that were saved in the

Telcordia (Bellcore) format. However, you cannot create reports with these
traces or add report information to them.

To speed up the documentation process, you can recall the information
from the cable setup (Cable tab of the Setup dialog box).

You can also use the new information you enter to modify the cable setup
so that this information could be applied to all new traces.

For more information about cable parameters to be applied to all newly
acquired traces or the autonaming options, see Defining Cables on
page 28.

Some of the information is common to all wavelengths (location A and B,
cable ID and fiber ID). Some other is specific to the current wavelength
(job ID, operators A and B, company, customer and comments). If you
clear information from the Report window, both the common and the
specific information will be deleted. The information specific to other
wavelengths will not be deleted (you must delete it manually).
