7.4 V-Scout (Custom Profiles) (optional)
V-Scout gives the ability to optimize automated testing further by creating custom V-Scout test
plans. A unique profile can be created for specific test environments. The V-Scout Profiles
use factory or user defined auto test profiles to evaluate separate test acquisitions comprising
of multiple wavelengths to detect anomalies. Traces are analyzed, compared, and merged into
a single symbolic link map. Multiple OTDR trace files (.sor) are saved in a single file folder for
simplified archiving and easy future analysis. Each individual acquisition can be customized
and user defined as a test profile depending on network type or application (e.g. PON, Access
Fiber, FTTA test plans). This optional feature eliminates event interpretation. Custom profiles
can be distributed by email or server to OTDR users.
Selecting the
V-Scout
profile will apply the test plan using that profile for every fiber test
automatically.
When the V-Scout Mode is selected as a Test Parameter, Wavelength options
are greyed out. Specify Wavelengths on the V-Scout Profile screen. The
Wavelengths you assign to the profile are selected for the Test Parameters for
the V-Scout Profile automatically; however, Pulse Widths (PW) must be
selected AND enabled on the profile screen.
