Saving a Trace in the OFL 100
The OFL 100MM, HR and LR models can save up to 99
backscatter traces in internal memory, depending on the length
and complexity of the traces. The OFL 100 DM and DS models
can save in its internal memory, up to 98 backscatter traces at
a single wavelength or 49 backscatter traces at dual
wavelengths. The OFL 100 can be shut down and the traces
will remain in memory. These traces can later be transferred to
a PC using the supplied PCPLOT3 software. Selecting ‘SAVE’
will immediately offer the option to save the trace to internal
memory or to a computer.
3.6.1 MM and HR Models
Selecting ‘OFL 100’ will save the trace to internal memory. The
display will change to;
and will flash the message:
The fiber cannot be removed during a save function because
the OFL 100 actively measures the fiber while it is saving the
trace.
When the measurement is complete the display will change to;
then:
The XX refers to a storage location from 01 to 99. The OFL
100 assigns this number automatically. The % FILLED value
will change according to the amount of internal memory space
currently being used by stored traces. Selecting ‘NEXT’ will
return you to the Main Menu.
