Defining Cables

You can specify the way cables and fibers will be identified and add
comments about the tests you perform. You can include this information in
reports later.

To speed up information entry, you can define cable profiles. For each new
test, the application will use the active cable profile to fill out the boxes,
preventing you from entering repetitive information.

After a trace acquisition, you can still change cable name, fiber and job
information, as well as comments for a specific trace. For more
information, see Creating and Printing Trace Reports on page 207.

You must be in Advanced mode to define cables.
