Setting a Reference File or Measurement
Setting a Reference File or Measurement
A reference file is used to compare fibers within the same cable, monitor
fiber deterioration or compare fibers before and after installation. Once a
measurement file has been added to a project, you can set it as a reference
file. The reference file can then be used to automatically document other
measurement files (refer to Automatically Documenting Measurement Files
on page 173). For supported OTDR file formats, FastReporter will display
the reference measurement, in red, in the Event Table. The reference
measurement can then be applied as a template (refer to Applying an
OTDR Reference as a Template on page 60). You can set a file as a
reference if the file format supports applying a reference as a template.
