1.8 File Features
Measured results (waveform data), measurement and analysis conditions, system settings, and the
like can be saved as files to internal memory or external memory (USB memory). You can efficiently
configure multiple instruments to the same conditions by loading a file containing measurement and
analysis conditions, system settings, and the like. In addition, the instrument can save measured
waveform data as PDF data in report format.
Saving and Loading Files
Saving and Loading Files
The following types of files can be saved.
• .SOR
A file for saving optical pulse measurement results. Measurement and analysis conditions,
waveform data, event list data (when event analysis is executed) are stored in this file. When
an SOR file is loaded, the measurement and analysis data is loaded into the instrument, the
waveform data is displayed on the instrument screen. If event list data is stored, event analysis
results are also displayed. This file is useful when you want to save an SOR file at a site where
optical fiber cables are being installed and load the file into another instrument at a different site.
Only SOR files (waveform data) measured with conditions that are valid for the instrument can
be loaded.
A file for saving the current waveform displayed on the instrument screen or waveform data of an
already saved file in a PDF report format.
• .CFG
A file for saving the instrument system settings (device, connection, etc.). This file is useful when
you want to apply the same system settings to several instruments.
• .BMP, JPG
A file for saving a screen image of the instrument. This file is useful when you want to view the
screen content on the PC screen. BMP and JPG files cannot be loaded into the instrument.
• .SOZ
A file for saving multiple waveforms measured simultaneously.
• .SMP
A file for saving waveforms measured with a feature equivalent to Smart Mapper.
Selecting Drives
You can set the save destination to the following internal and external memories.
• Internal Memory
The memory inside the instrument. The size is about 256 MB. It cannot be removed.
• USB Memory
USB storage device.
