Customizing the Report

Customizing the Report

You can customize your report before printing it by specifying which type of
document you want, which information will appear in your report and in
what order. You can even insert or remove page breaks between sections.

If you choose the compressed format, you cannot insert page breaks
between sections.

If you choose the multitrace format, you cannot remove sections from the
report or insert page breaks between sections. In this format, traces are
included automatically in the report. However, you can select which of the
marker information or the link measurements, will appear in the printed
document.

By default, the report contains a header that can include only the default
“OTDR Report” title or other items such as the file name or the test date.

You can also add a footer to your document. Unless you specify that you
prefer to see only the page number, the following elements are added to
the bottom of the pages:

³

a space for a signature

³

the printing date and the page number

Note: Most of the information presented hereafter also applies to bidirectional

traces (Bidirectional Analysis tool). However, some items, such as the
multitrace report format, are not available with the Bidirectional Analysis
tool.
