Job settings apply to the fiber installation you are
testing and are stored with saved test results. Use
these settings to identify the job site, set up cable ID
lists, and identify which end of the cabling you are
testing. See Chapter 2 for details.
•
System settings let you localize the tester and set
other user preferences, such as the power down
timeout and camera type.

The Cable tab lets you select the type of fiber cable you
will test and define some cable characteristics for
loss/length tests. You can also change the index of
refraction if you do not want to use the default values.
Note
Select a fiber type before selecting a test limit. The
fiber type determines which test limits are available.
•
The OTDR tab lets you select a test limit and wavelength
for OTDR tests and enable launch fiber compensation. You
can also change settings for Manual OTDR mode. See
Chapter 3 for details.
•
The Loss/Length tab appears if the module includes the
loss/length option or power meter option (you can run loss
tests in Far End Source mode with the power meter
option). Use this tab to configure the loss/length test. See
Chapter 6 for details.
Different or additional tabs may be available depending on
the installed module.
