Although the application sets the acquisition parameters, you can modify
these values as needed, even while the acquisition is in progress. The
OTDR simply restarts the averaging each time a modification is made.

Note: You can interrupt the acquisition at any time. The application will display

the information acquired to that point.

Once the acquisition is complete or interrupted, the analysis starts for
acquisitions of 5 seconds or more.

After analysis, the trace is displayed. Events appear both in the events table
and in the linear view (if you purchased the optional software package).

The application will also display pass/fail messages if you have selected
this feature. For more information, see Setting Pass/Fail Thresholds on
page 53.

You can save the trace after analysis. If former results have not been saved
yet, the application prompts you to save them before starting a new
acquisition.
