Managing Markers
Adding an OTDR Event with one Marker
FastReporter 2 allows you to add a new OTDR event according to the
position of marker A. It automatically repositions the markers other than A
at the best position to characterize the most probable event in the area. It
automatically selects the appropriate event type according to the
measurement characteristics such as reflective event, non-reflective event,
or positive event.
To add an OTDR event with one marker:
1. On the graph, place marker A where you want to add an event.
2. On the Measurement menu, from the OTDR option, select Event then
click Add Event with Marker A.
Note: You cannot perform this operation if the origin of the selected file does not
allow modifications. For example, you cannot perform this operation on
“Telcordia 100" files from other OTDR manufacturers.
Note: You cannot add an event using marker A on bidirectional OTDR files.
Note: The manually modified events are displayed with an asterisk (*) mark. For
more information on changing display options, see Changing FastReporter
2 Options on page 25.
