OTDR APL-2, 3 File Saving Methods
Auto: automatically save after a test is completed
Semi Auto: user decides by press 'Save/File', (useful if the fibre link needs retesting)
Off: go through file naming, folder selection, and 'Save'
OTDR APL-2 Managing File Name In Any Format
eg. 2ARM00.T001.T015.1625.010.sor
To select the field and delimiter to form a file name
To define the increment for the next file
OTDR-SCREENSHOT
To tap the arrow in the upper right corner of the screen to hide/show the thumbnail. Tap "Screenshot" below the thumbnail to save the picture in the Micro SD. Fail to save if Micro SD is unpresented.
iOLA (optional)
iOLA: Intelligent Optical Link Analyzer, using a combination of short, medium and long pulses to detect more events with maximum resolution.
High Performance OTDR APL-2 test on a 1x4 splitter + 21km link, using 500ns pulse width, at 1310, 1550, 1625nm, with very low noise of 0.02dB.
High Performance OTDR APL-2 test on a 1x4 splitter + 1x4 splitter link, using 500ns pulse width, at 1310, 1550, 1625nm, with very low noise of 0.02dB.
The Need for Dynamic Range in OTDR’s
The required Signal/Noise Ratio (SNR) to the total link loss determines the dynamic range (SNR=1) required.
NOTE: the dynamic range varies with the pulse width.
