3 Sample Sessions: Measuring a Trace

Measuring a Trace contains a number of sample sessions

of step-by step guides showing how to use common

features of the Mini-OTDR.

Equipment used In these sample sessions we use:

• A Mini-OTDR Agilent Technologies E6000C with an

optical module Agilent E6003A (1310/1550 nm, single-

mode).

• A length of fiber of about 40 km, terminated at one end

with a Diamond HMS-10/Agilent connector and

unterminated at the other end. The fiber has a

refractive index of 1.462, and is to be used at a

wavelength of 1310 nm.

• A connector interface to match the connector on the

fiber being used.

Sample Sessions The following sample sessions show you how to:

• Set up your Mini-OTDR,

• Run a Measurement: Automatically, Manually, and in

Real Time,

• Use the Event Table and Pass/Fail test,

• Set the Horizontal Offset and Fiber End,
