Autotest User-To-User
Communication
This is a Two-Way Autotest feature.
This feature helps two users to co-ordinate their actions as they step
their testing through an array of fibers.
Communication is on the fiber being tested, so no additional order wire
link or talk set is required to work through a fiber array.
If intending to use this feature, it would be a good idea for the users to
practice together for a few minutes, to gain familiarity.
This communication function also links through to KITS™ software, so
that the far
end user knows when a reading has been saved in KITS™,
and the near end user knows when the far end user has moved to the
next fiber, and so is ready for the next reading. Refer to KITS
user
manual for detailed operating instructions.
Display update for both instruments can be started and stopped from
either instrument by pressing [HOLD] button, which also activates the
buzzer at each end. Once on, ‘HOLD’ symbol will flash on LCD. It
allows handy communication method between two users, so they can
synchronise while working through successive fibers, see related

If the VisiTester option is available, this is a useful feature to help get
testing started: If one instrument at one end is hooked up and Autotest
activated, the active fiber at the far end will flash, so the user at this
end knows that the test is ready to start, and which fiber to start on.
