When the averaged measurement completes in accordance with the specified conditions, the
measurement stops automatically, and the screen switches to the OTDR menu.
During multi wavelength measurement, when the averaged measurement of all waveforms
completes, the measurement stops automatically. To stop the averaged measurement in
progress, press AVG.
Explanation
Averaged Measurement
A progress bar is displayed during averaged measurement. When the measurement finishes, the
progress bar stops automatically. If you set Avg Duration to Auto, the duration to average over is
displayed in the top area of the screen. If you specify a setting other than Auto, a value that indicates
the progress is displayed. When the measurement completes correctly, 100% is displayed. The time
it takes to complete a measurement varies depending on settings such as the distance range and the
average count.
If you are using markers to measure distance, loss, and the like during an averaged measurement,
when the measurement completes correctly (100%), the AQ7280 automatically closes the marker
measurement screen. If Event Search is set to Auto, the event screen appears when the measurement
is completed correctly.
