9.8 Laser Wavelength Configuration
The user can select the wavelength to be used for testing, or can select multiple wavelengths to be used
simultaneously.
Operation:
Select the desired wavelength in the “Wavelength” parameter in [Setup].
Note:
The available wavelengths will be determined by which module(s) are attached and being used.
9.9 IOR Settings
IOR is a key factor in determining the speed of the laser transmission in optical fiber. The IOR
configuration has a direct impact on the accuracy of the measurement. Generally speaking, the IOR
parameter is a recommended value, provided by the optical fiber manufacturer. The value can be set to
an accuracy of four decimal places, between 1.0000 and 1.9999.
9.10 Scatter Coefficient (Back Scatter)
Scatter coefficient determines the value of backward scatter power. The configuration affects the
calculation of reflection value.
Note:
The configuration zone is: -10 to -70dB.
9.11 Non-Reflection Threshold (Splice Loss Detection Threshold)
Configuration
This configuration has a direct impact on the listing of insertion loss events. Only events greater than
this threshold will be listed. The threshold range is from 0.00 to 5.00dB.
Note:
The default value is 0.20dB.
