Analyzing Traces with the Bidirectional Analysis Application

OTDR

199

Creating Bidirectional Measurement Files

When two traces are opened in the bidirectional analysis application, the
span end of the B->A trace is aligned with the span start of the A->B trace.

If the application cannot match the traces perfectly, error or warning
messages will appear. A message will be displayed if there are
inconsistencies in the events table, wavelength, index of refraction, helix
factor, or Rayleigh backscatter coefficient.

Note: The A->B and B->A traces are displayed in full view mode (1:1 zoom

factor).
