8.5 Instruction of PC Terminal Software Traces Window of OTDR 

Waveform  window  is  divided  into  4  displaying  areas:  trace  graph,  list  of  multi-waveform 

displaying file, measurement parameter, and measurement result, as shown in Fig.8-15.

8.5.1 Displaying Area of“Trace graph” 

Select “open”  function to realize displaying of trace file in the trace graph area, as shown 

in Fig.8-16. The lateral axis represents the distance (unit: m), while the vertical axis represents 
the  back  scattering  power  (Unit:  dB).  The  11  icon  buttons  in  the  right  of  trace  graph  area 
represent the operation icon buttons of trace. When move the mouse onto these icons, they will 
display the functional characters of the icons. Meanwhile, these 11 icon buttons conform to that 
of the instrument terminal. Moving from left to right of AB lines scale plate in the trace graph can 
be realized by sliding the mouse.
