Linear View

In the linear view, the events are displayed sequentially, from left to right.
You can scroll the linear view with your finger.

Each rounded square represents an event.

Each horizontal line that “links” two rounded squares represents a
fiber section.

Rounded squares and lines will be displayed in colors: green for pass

, red for fail

, gray for events and fiber sections appearing outside

the current fiber span. Sections and events are also displayed in gray
when they are not tested by the pass/fail thresholds.

Spans (

and

) and macrobends (

) icons are displayed on the

rounded square. When macrobends are detected, icons will be
displayed to identify them. Colors of the rounded squares correspond
to the status of the events (green for pass, red for fail) and do not
change if macrobends are detected.
