The content that the TP-P6 can display is as follows:
●
File Name:
The name of current trace.
●
Date
: Date and time of test.
●
Wavelength:
The laser wavelength used for testing.
●
Pulse Width:
The laser pulse width used for sampling.
●
Averaging Time:
Continuous sampling time.
●
Range:
Distance used for testing.
●
Span Length:
The length of optical fiber span, as calculated after test completion.
●
Span Loss:
The total loss, from the span starting point to the span end point.
●
Span Attenuation:
Average loss of the total span, indicated as a function of distance.
●
Event Quantity:
Total number of events detected from the current trace analysis, which is
accordance with the test parameters.
The content displayed on the right of the display window is as follows:
●
IOR:
Indicate the trace IOR (also called group coefficient). If modifying this parameter, it will adjust
the trace distance automatically
●
Back Scatter:
Rayleigh Back Scatter of the displayed trace.
●
Non-Reflection Threshold:
Check the current setting of small Non-Reflection Events during the
trace analysis.
●
Reflection Threshold:
Check the current setting of small Reflection Events during the trace
analysis.
●
End Threshold:
Check the current setting of the limit of detected events (will affect the
transmission performance during the trace analysis).
Note:
Trace parameter options only display the active, selected trace, even when multiple traces are opened. If
you wish to view the information pertaining to a particular trace, you will need to click on that trace. The
active, selected trace will always be indicated in
red
