Analyzing Waveforms and Events

Measuring the Distance and Loss between Two Points

1.4, “Analyzing Measured Data” in the User’s Manual

You can place two markers on the waveform on the data display screen and measure the distance and loss between the markers.

1.

  Tap 

OTDR

 on the MENU screen.

2.

  Tap the 

Marker

 soft key and then the 

2 Point Markers

 soft key.

5.

  Tap a soft key.

: Distance measurement 

start position

A marker is placed at the 

cursor position.

: Distance measurement 

end position

Displays the measured results of the distance and loss between the markers 

(distance at the top and loss at the bottom within the frame)

When measuring the loss, if 

there are events 

(connections) between the 

markers, use TPA for the 

marker approximation 

method (see page 45).
