How to Add a Non-Reflective
Event
Most of the steps for adding a Non-Reflective Event are
also required to Add a Reflective Event. Cross-references
in this example refer to steps in “How to Add a Reflective
Event” above.
1 Move your marker to where you want to add the event.
2 Select [E
VENTS]<ADD/MOD. NON-REFL. EVENT>
level markers 3 You now see 4 level-markers on the trace, and a
message asking you to adjust them (see Figure 40).
4 Follow “How to Set the Level-markers for Measuring
Insertion Loss” on page 115, to set the splice markers.
You can now see the Non-Reflective Event in the Event
Table, and in the Event Bar at the foot of the Trace
window.
Added vs. Modified Events Added Events are indicated by an A between the entries
for No and Type in the Event Table. Modified Events are
indicated by an M.
How to Measure the Total Loss
of the Fiber
This section describes the examination of the fiber’s total
loss. Analyzing the loss is one of a number of
measurements that can be made using the OTDR. Others
include measuring attenuation, insertion loss or
reflectance
