Chapter 13: OTDR Span and Event
Editing Functions
Overview of Features
The span and event editing functions are available in the
OptiFiber Pro and OptiFiber Pro HDR modules:

The event editing function lets you edit loss events.
 The span function lets you limit OTDR results to a section of
fiber that you define.
How to Edit a Loss Event
When you know that a
Loss
event is an APC connector, you can
tap in the event’s information window, then use the
Change
Event Type
menu to change the event’s type to
APC Connector
.
See Figure 188. You can also change an edited event back to a
Loss
event.
Note
When you edit an event, the test result does not
show that you made a change.
When you use a test limit for the OptiFiber Pro
module: If you change a Loss event to an APC
Connector, the tester uses 0.75 dB as the loss limit
for the connector. That is a standard loss limit for
connectors in inside-plant applications. If you must
use a different limit for APC connectors, make a
custom test limit.
