Analyzing Traces and Events

OTDR

97

Summary Tab

In the summary table, when you tap the pass/fail status row with a fail
status, the application automatically switches to the events tab. The
graph is displayed with “full trace” zoom. If the zoom on event feature
is enabled, the application zooms in on the first event or fiber section
for which the status is “fail”.

Traces must have been analyzed before you can see them in the
summary table. Real-time traces cannot be analyzed. The summary is
always displayed but may be incomplete.

If you configure the application to show the macrobends (Test
Configuration
> Link Definition tab), the information will appear at
the bottom of the summary table.

If no macrobends were detected, the application displays “No
macrobend detected” instead of the information on the macrobends.
“Invalid parameters” is displayed when the parameters are
inappropriate.

To display the summary table:
From the main window, tap the Summary tab.

Note: To display the summary table as the default view after the acquisitions are

all performed (at all the selected wavelengths) and the analysis of the last
wavelength is complete, see Selecting the Default View
on page 76.
