5.5 Trace Processing
The “OTDR Trace Manager” software included with the TP-P6 is for trace review and analysis on
a Windows-based PC, following trace acquisition. You can transmit the stored trace data be either
connecting the TP-P6 directly to the PC, using the included USB cable, or by transferring the files using a
USB “memory stick.
Trace processing includes:
●
Trace editing (single-trace, multiple-trace)
●
Printing (single-trace printing, batch printing)
●
Trace format conversion
The Bi-directional averaging program (for singlemode fibers only) is available in advanced versions. This
is meant to increase loss testing accuracy by averaging the measured loss values of each event from
both directions. Bi-directional testing is always recommended for the greatest accuracy.
