Customizing the Elements Table Tab
Viewing Group Elements
Link elements will be displayed as groups when the iOLM analysis detects
several link elements that are too close to one another to be independently
characterized. When this occurs, as much information as possible will be
displayed for each individual sub-element. The pass/fail status is applied to
each sub-element whenever possible, and a global status is also displayed
for the group.
Groups can also be displayed when a link element (such as a splitter) is
found to have wavelength dependant loss. In that case, the link element is
grouped with a macrobend element. In this particular case, there might not
be a physical macrobend next to the link element, but the macrobend icon
is used to highlight the presence of the wavelength dependant loss. When
elements are grouped, the group loss and group reflectance value is also
displayed in the Element tab.
Each sub-element is directly displayed as if they were normal elements.
Note: For grouped elements, some values may not be available individually but
are available at the group level, such as loss and reflectance.
