Event Table
The event table shows a list of the events on the fiber. To see the
event table, tap
TABLE
on the OTDR results screen. Figure 144
shows an example of an event table. Table 14 gives descriptions
of the event types.

To see details for an event, tap the event in the table. Scroll the
table if necessary to see all the events.

(ft)
or
(m)
: The distance to the event

LOSS
: The loss of the event.

REFLECT
: The reflectance of the event.

TYPE
: The event type. See Table 14. This is the type that
best matches the characteristics of the event at all
wavelengths. It can be different from the event type
shown on the OTDR plot, which is the type for each
wavelength.
Notes
The OTDR Port and End events always show N/A for
loss because backscatter measurements are not
available on both sides of those events.
If an event shows “---” in the LOSS and REFLECT
columns, the tester did not find the event at the
selected wavelength. Tap an arrow button (

) to
see the measurements for the other wavelength.

Tap to see help for this screen.

OVERALL
: Tap this button to see overall measurements of
length, loss, and optical return loss for the fiber.
 When more than one button shows at the bottom of the
screen, the tester highlights one in yellow to recommend
which one to tap. See “Buttons to Do Tests and Save Results”
on page 61.
