The reflection loss and splice loss are recalculated and displayed in the detail display area at the bottom of
the screen.
Note
For details on each event marker, see “5 Point Markers” in section 6.1.
Explanation
Inserting Events
• The event list can display up to 100 events.
• If you insert an event between two events that are displayed, the new event takes on the number
that follows the event on the left, and all subsequent event numbers are increased by one. You
cannot insert events to the left of the S point.
• You cannot insert events to the left of the distance reference. You can use the Distance Ref Setup
soft key to move the distance reference. For details about the distance reference, see section 6.3.
• If you insert an event to the right of the E event, the inserted event becomes the E event, and a new
number is assigned to the former E event.
Deleting Events
• If only the S point and the E event are displayed, you cannot delete any events.
• If you delete an event, the subsequent event numbers will all be reduced by one.
• You cannot delete the S point.
• If you set a distance reference (R point), the S point disappears from the screen. In this situation,
the measurement reference point is the distance reference. If you delete the distance reference, the
S point is displayed again at its original position.
• If you delete the E event, the event that has the largest number becomes the E event.
Editing Event Markers
Event markers are used to calculate the splices losses and reflection losses at event positions.
Normally, event markers are automatically assigned, but when event markers are assigned to noise
and other undesirable waveforms, correct values cannot be calculated. In such cases, you can obtain
correct values by moving event markers.
Turning the Event Position Fix Feature On and Off
Event positions can be fixed. Fixed events are handled as master events. You can configure the
Instrument so that in subsequent event analysis only master events are handled.
