INTERPRETING AUTOTEST RESULTS FOR FIBER OPTICS

PASS/FAIL REPORTING

The overall Autotest result is displayed at the top right of the Autotest display screen.

Individual Autotest results are displayed to the right of each test.

Overall Test Result Symbols

Symbol

Overall Autotest Result

Overall test result is a pass if each individual test is a pass.

Overall test result is a fail if one or more individual tests is a fail.

Individual Autotest Reports

Symbol

Individual Autotest Result

Pass - All values pass with sufficient margin.

Fail - One or more values fail by a margin of failure greater than the
instrument’s specified accuracy.

SAVING CURRENT AUTOTEST RESULTS

Autotest results can be stored in the LANTEK internal tester memory or Compact Flash
memory card and accessed later using the Stored Results feature. Autotest results can

be saved immediately following the test.

Only overall passed Autotests can be saved using the Autosave feature. Failed

tests can be saved manually.

Test results are automatically saved if the AutoSave preference is enabled. Refer

to Setting Preferences.

Test names are automatically assigned to completed tests when the Auto

Increment feature is enabled. If a different name is desired, a test can be named
manually using

MANUALLY SAVING AUTOTEST RESULTS (AUTOSAVE DISABLED)

To manually save an Autotest, select

, located at the bottom of the screen.

The Test Saved screen will be displayed for a brief period, showing the name the
test is saved under.

If the current name already exists, a warning screen appears asking you to

overwrite the currently existing file or enter a new file name.

Press ESCAPE to exit and return to the previous screen without performing a save
operation, or select

to overwrite the existing file.

MANIPULATING JOB FOLDERS

When an Autotest is saved, the data is stored with a unique name. Test results can be
viewed, printed, or deleted from the Stored Tests screen.

On the Ready screen, select Stored Tests to open the Job List screen.

Highlight the desired Job. Press

to view the folder options list.

Highlight the desired function and Press ENTER.
