Trace Acquisition Modes
Trace Acquisition Modes
The OTDR application provides the following trace acquisition modes:
³
Auto: Automatically calculates fiber length, sets acquisition
parameters, acquires traces, and displays event tables and acquired
traces.
³
Advanced: Offers all the tools needed to perform integral OTDR tests
and measurements and gives you control over all test parameters.
³
Template (optional): Tests fibers and compares the results to a
reference trace that was previously acquired and analyzed. This allows
you to save time when testing a large number of fibers. Reference trace
documentation is also automatically copied to new acquisitions.
³
Fault Finder: Rapidly locates fiber ends and displays the length of the
fiber under test. This allows you to perform quick tests without having
to set all the acquisition parameters.
Optional Software Packages
An optional software package is offered with the application. With this
package, you can find macrobends, view the related information. The
software package also give you access to the “linear view”, which displays
the events sequentially, from left to right.
Note: Optional Software Packages were meant to function on FTB-200 v2 units
and not on FTB-200 units.
Data Post-Processing
You can install the OTDR Viewer (available on the CD that came with your
product) on a computer to view and analyze traces without having to use
an FTB-200 v2 Compact Modular Platform and an OTDR. You can also
access more features such as:
