Naming Fault Finder Files Automatically

Naming Fault Finder Files Automatically

Each time you start an acquisition, the Fault Finder application suggests a
file name based on autonaming settings. This file name appears on the
upper part of the graph.

Note: The autonaming settings used in Fault Finder mode are independent from

those used in Auto or Advanced modes. File names are built following the
same principle, but there is one set of settings for Fault Finder and one set
of settings for the other OTDR modes.

The file name is made of a static part (alphanumeric) and a variable part
(numeric) that will be incremented or decremented, according to your
selection, as follows:

After saving a result, the unit prepares the next file name by incrementing
(or decrementing) the suffix.

Note: If you choose not to save a particular trace file, the suggested file name will

remain available for the next trace you will acquire.

By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in Bellcore (.sor) format (see Selecting the Default
File Format for the Fault Finder Traces
on page 82).

If you choose incrementation...

If you choose decrementation...

Variable part increases until it

reaches the highest possible value

with the selected number of digits

(for example, 99 for 2 digits), then

restarts at 0.

Variable part decreases until it

reaches 0, then restarts at the highest
possible value
with the selected

number of digits (for example, 99 for

2 digits).
