Generating a Report
Markers: marker information: a, A, B, b as well as A to B LSA
attenuation, LSA loss, and ORL. The attenuation, 4 point event loss, and
maximum reflectance are also displayed.
Event table: the failed results will appear in white on a red background.
Otherwise, they will not be “highlighted”.
Macrobend table: contains the location and the delta loss of all the
detected macrobends.
Note: This table is global to the fiber and will be generated if the application has
detected macrobends (at any wavelength). For example, even if you
choose to only include the current trace (for which no macrobends have
been detected at this particular wavelength), the table could be generated
if macrobends have been detected at other wavelengths.
Pass/Fail thresholds: splice loss, connector loss, reflectance, fiber
section attenuation, span loss, span length and span ORL thresholds as
they are defined in Test Configuration, under Pass/Fail Thresholds.
Test Parameters: displays wavelength, range, pulse, and duration.
Test Settings: displays IOR, backscatter, helix factor, splice loss
threshold, reflectance threshold, end-of-fiber thresholds, macrobend
wavelengths, and macrobend delta loss.
Once you generate a report, the application will keep in memory the items
you have included in your reports for future use.
