7. If your OTDR supports singlemode, singlemode live, or multimode

wavelengths, under Wavelengths, from the list, select the desired fiber
type (for live-fiber testing, select SM Live; for C fiber, select 50 μm and
for D fiber, select 62.5 μm).

8. Select the boxes corresponding to the desired test wavelengths. You

must select at least one wavelength.

9. Select the desired distance, pulse, and time values. For more

information, see Setting Distance Range, Pulse Width, and Acquisition
Time
on page 63.

10. Press Start. If the first connector check feature is enabled, a message

will appear if there is a problem with the injection level (see Enabling
or Disabling the First Connector Check
on page 48).

You can modify the acquisition parameters as needed, while the
acquisition is in progress. The OTDR simply restarts the averaging each
time a modification is made.
