Criteria for display of an event
An event will be displayed if its attenuation or its reflectance exceeds the
corresponding threshold selected in the
S
ETUP
menu (see
the test in OTDR Expert" page 20
). Attenuation and reflectance results
for an event will be displayed if they can be calculated
The reflectance of an event is always measured except when the event
causes a saturated Fresnel peak or if it is drowned out by noise. In this
case, the T-BERD/MTS
displays
>
to show that the actual reflectance
exceeds the value displayed.
When there is saturation for a reflective event, the maximum value
measured is displayed with the sign
>
. This shows that the actual reflec-
tance is greater than the value shown (for example, if R >-29,5 dB is
displayed, the reflectance could be -18 dB)
Results table
Under the trace is displayed the results table with all the events detected
during acquisition.
–
In SmartOTDR™, the 4 lines table is always displayed under trace.
–
In ExpertOTDR mode, once
Trace
is selected, press validation key
to pass from Trace + results table on 1 line to Trace + results
table on 4 lines, and vice-versa
A table with one line displayed under the trace and giving the type
and characteristics of the event nearest to the cursor.
A table giving the type and the characteristics of all the events
detected during the measurement: the 4 first lines displayed corre-
spond to the 4 first events nearest to the cursor. The line corre-
sponding to the event nearest to the cursor is highlighted. This
highlighting moves if the cursor is moved.
