You can change the following parameters:

Range • Range: the start position and the measurement span. If

the Range displays Auto, the OTDR selects a suitable

measurement range for your fiber.

You can choose from one of the predefined ranges, or

select Range Input.. and input a range of your

choice.

Pulse Width • PulseWidth: the length of the pulses launched by the

OTDR into the fiber. Short pulses improve resolution,

but longer pulses are required for higher dynamic on

long fibers.
