NOTE If the current marker is marker B, the submenu option

will be called <S

ET H-OFFSET TO B>.

The position of the current marker is now set to 0 km and

distances are reset accordingly (Figure 31).

Figure 31 Trace with Horizontal Offset set

If you move the marker away from the offset, you see a

dashed vertical line marking the offset. Printouts also

contain this line (see “How to Print the Measurement” on

page 100).

NOTE Landmarks are always positioned relative to 0 km, while

Events have an absolute position on the fiber.

This means that when you set a Horizontal Offset, the

location distance of the landmark stays the same, but the

position of Events changes by the amount of the Offset.

By default, all Events to the left of the Offset are displayed

in the Event Table and the Event Bar at the foot of the

trace
