Restrictions of Template Mode

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.

Template mode can be used on an unlimited number of traces, as long as
you have at least one reference trace. Thus, you can use Template mode to
automate trace acquisition.

Restrictions of Template Mode

To speed up trace acquisition in Template mode, certain restrictions apply.

³

The parameters used to acquire the reference trace are automatically
applied when acquiring subsequent traces (including the
high-resolution feature, when applicable).

³

The reference trace and subsequent traces must be acquired using
identical wavelength(s), but pulse settings can be adjacent and still be
accepted.

³

The OTDR that you intend to use must support at least one wavelength
that was used to acquire the reference trace.

³

The reference trace and subsequent traces (or recalled traces) must
respect the following criteria:
