Searching and Displaying OTDR Results

Searching and Displaying OTDR Results

The result browser allows you to search the OTDR results, then view them
directly or save them for future reference.

You can search among all the available results or narrow down your search
to a specific test setup. You can also filter the results by type (ad hoc tests,
references, etc.) and by date.

You can save (export) the OTDR trace in native .trc format. You will be able
to open the trace with applications that support this format of file, such as
EXFO’s FastReporter.

You can also save both the results table and the data points of the OTDR
trace (x and y coordinates) in a .csv format. This is useful if you prefer to
work with raw data and build your own reports.

If you want, you can clear the results from the results window. This will not
delete them from the database.
