Reports

For future reference, you can add notes on the location of the tested fiber,
type of job performed and general comments related to a trace in trace
reports.

Adding Information to the Test Results

After acquiring a trace, you might want to include or update information
about the tested fiber and job or add comments. The information you enter
is saved only for the currently open trace file.

After entering the required data, you may save the contents as a template.
The next time you access the report to add information to a newly acquired
trace, the template is automatically recalled, eliminating repetitive
documentation operations.

Note: The information must be entered before acquiring traces in Template

mode. For more information, see Testing Fibers in Template Mode
(optional) on page 57.

Some of the information is common to all wavelengths (location A and B,
cable ID and fiber ID). Some other is specific to the current wavelength
(job ID, operators A and B, company, customer and comments). If you
clear information from the Identification window, both the common and
the specific information will be deleted. The information specific to other
wavelengths will not be deleted (you must delete it manually).
