Viewing and Modifying iOLM Settings
Link Definition
The Link Definition table displays the information about the expected
number of splitter on the link and their respective split ratio. You can
modify the Link Definition table in the iOLM configuration file which can be
used by online application to take new acquisition.
Note: Link definition on an iOLM measurement is available for display, but is
read-only.
To view and modify the Link Definition table:
1. Open an iOLM configuration file. You can select more than one using
the Ctrl or Shift keys.
2. In the Results window, select the Summary tab.
3. You can view and modify the Splitter ratio stage 1, Splitter ratio
stage 2, and Splitter ratio stage 3 field in the Link Definition table.
4. You can view select 1:? if you know that a splitter is present, but you
don’t know it's splitter ratio. The iOLM will discover the splitter ratio
automatically and the element will not be tested for pass/fail. When
the split ratio for the first stage of splitter is set to “None”, you can not
set the second and third one to something different than “None”, and if
the second stage of splitter is defined as “None”, the third one can’t be
set to something else than “None”, but the first one can still be set to
anything.
Note: The splitter ratios are defined stage wise, depending on how they are
defined in the network.
