Trace check box is cleared, the J2 1-byte format is used and can be
configured from the LOP OH TX/RX (SONET) on page 210.
Format: Select the display format for J2. Choices are 16 and 64 bytes. The
default setting is 16-bytes.

message is EXFO SONET/SDH for 16 bytes and EXFO SONET/SDH
Analyzer low order path trace test message for 64 bytes. However, with
VCAT/LCAS the default message will be EXFO followed by the VCG
number (VCAT and LCAS) and the SQ (VCAT only) number (for example
EXFO-VCG1-SQ0) for both 16 and 64 bytes formats.

62-bytes (
