Direction
The direction shows if the acquisition has been made from the origin to
the extremity (A->B) or from the extremity to the origin (B->A). Changing
direction makes it possible, when different extremities are handled, to
see the parameters of the fiber for the other extremity.
Location A
The name of the Location A of the link may be entered here.
Location B
The name of the Location B of the link may be entered here.
Cable structure
This line opens a sub-menu, all the parameters of which can be different
for each extremity.
View extremity If extremities are declared as different (see "Extremi-
ties are different" page 28 ), this parameter allows to

NOTE

relating to the origin have been modified, it is normal not to find these
same values entered for the extremity.
