Performing an Acquisition
You can perform the test according to three acquisition modes:
³
Quick Check: This mode is used to obtain a fast overview of a link. All
you have to do is set the distance range for the link. To perform a Quick
Check, see
Performing a Quick Check Acquisition on page 35.
³
Standard:
This mode is the general test mode. All you have to set is the
accuracy and sensitivity levels. This mode is selected by default when
you open the application. To perform a standard acquisition, see
Performing a Standard Acquisition on page 37.
³
Advanced:
This mode is used to perform an optimized acquisition. You
will have to set all of the parameters individually. This acquisition will
take more time to perform, but will return more details and can be fully
optimized. To perform an advanced acquisition, see
Performing an
Advanced Acquisition
on page 41.

When measuring PMD, it is very important that the launch fiber is
