8.2.3 Distance Measurements
Distance measurement – measure expanded trace view mode
When a trace is displayed as show above, the fiber length is automatically measured from the
start of the trace (or Span Begin) to each of the two markers and in between the markers.
Proper marker placement is critical for accurate measurements. To position the marker/s
accurately, expand the trace horizontally and vertically (using the Zoom Controls) and position
the marker on event’s left edge (first rising or falling pixel).
The distance (km, miles or feet) will be indicated next to the top of the marker.
The distance accuracy depends on the correctness of optical fiber refraction
index value setting.
