Index
• Real-time Measurement
While optical pulse measurement is in progress, measured values are updated and displayed in
real time.
• Multi-core Optical Fiber Cable Measurement
Multi-core fiber measurement takes time and effort. This feature makes it possible to efficiently
measure multi-core optical fiber cables through a dedicated menu. To use several measurement
functions such as power meter and connector end face testing in addition to OTDR (optical pulse
measurement), start Multi Fiber Project from the top menu.
• Optical Fiber Cable Monitoring (/MNT option)
This feature performs optical pulse measurement at regular intervals so that you can monitor for
errors in the optical fiber cable. To use this feature, start Schedule Measurement from the top
menu.
Optical Pulse Waveform Display
This feature zooms in and out of displayed waveforms and moves waveforms.
Optical Pulse Analysis
• Waveform Analysis
The following events can be analyzed using cursors and markers.
• Distance
• Splice loss
• Return loss
Analysis is performed over the entire waveform or a section of the waveform using the following
features.
• Multi trace analysis
Up to four waveforms can be displayed simultaneously for comparison.
• 2 way trace analysis
The waveform measured from one end of the optical fiber cable and that measured from the
other end are combined to verify events that could not be detected because of dead zones.
• Differential trace
The difference between two waveforms is displayed to analyze the differences between event
values.
• Section analysis
Return loss between markers can be analyzed.
• Event Analysis
Events are automatically detected. In addition, you can edit events and event lists. Adjustments
can be made when certain events cannot be detected or when noise is detected as events.
