Generating a Report

You can generate trace reports directly from your unit in PDF or XML
format. By default, all traces are generated in a report, but you can also
generate all the traces the current file contains.

The XML file does not contain the graphs, but contains all of the other
information with the appropriate indicator so that the report generator
displays it or not.

The following list shows the various items that can appear on a PDF report.
By default, all these items are selected.

Global Pass/Fail: this element shows if a result is Pass or Fail. It is
displayed in the upper right part of the report.

General Information: contains information such as filename, test date
and time, cable ID, job ID, comments, customer, company, and
fiber ID.

Locations: displays information such as location A and B, operator
A and operator B, the unit’s model and serial number, and the
calibration date.

Results: displays information on the link measurement such as span
length, span loss, average loss, average splice loss, maximum splice
loss and span ORL.

Graphic: Graphs will be generated exactly as they appear on screen.
The same zoom factor will be applied to all traces (wavelengths) of a
particular file. Markers will also be displayed on the graph.
