Measuring Distance

By placing the cursor on the acquired waveform, you can measure the distance to events such as

reflections and splice losses.

Using the Cursor to Measure the Distance

Follow the procedure below to measure the distance between the distance reference and the cursor.

From the top menu, select

OTDR

Turn the rotary knob to display the cursor.

Move the cursor to a position where an event is displayed.

Distance reference

Distance from the distance reference

to the cursor

Note

The location where the AQ7280 and the optical fiber cable are connected is the distance reference. To
perform more accurate measurements, zoom in on the waveform.

Using Markers to Measure the Distance

Follow the procedure below to measure the distance between two markers.

From the top menu, select

OTDR

Press the

Marker

soft key and then the

2 Point Markers

soft key to display the following

screen.
