Figure 8 The Trace Screen

Trace • When you have taken a measurement, the graph of the

reflected power is displayed as a function of distance.

This graph is called the trace.

Event Bar • Below the trace, the event bar shows you the position of

the detected events: non-reflective events such as

splices, reflective events such as connectors, as well as

any defined landmarks.

You can add and remove the event bar by selecting

[View]<E

VENT BAR> from the popup panel.

Markers • The markers are your means of marking and analyzing

single events, parts of the trace, and distances. In the

marker-information window, you see information such

as the distance, attenuation, and loss at or between the

markers.
