Appendix. Report Manager

Report Manager is a PC-based utility program that allows
you to conveniently upload, display, print and save test
reports, and download Fiber Meter firmware upgrades.

Reports can be selectively uploaded from the Fiber
Meter and saved to disk in a secure (protected from
tampering), encrypted and compressed format, or in a
text format for use by another program. Report
Manager allows you to print the reports with optional
headers and footers.
