OTDR 35
Setting Storage Parameters
Setting Storage Parameters
Each time you save a trace, the unit suggests a file name based on
autonaming settings. After saving a result, the unit prepares the next file
name by incrementing the suffix.
File names: maximum of 20 characters for prefix and 3 digits for suffix.
By default, traces are saved in native (.trc) format, but you can configure
your unit to save them in Bellcore (.sor) format.
Note: If you select the Bellcore (.sor) format, the unit will create one trace file per
wavelength (for example, TRACE001_1310.sor and TRACE001_1550.sor, if
you selected both 1310 nm and 1550 nm for your test). The native format
contains all wavelengths in a single trace file.
To set the autonaming scheme:
1. Press Menu, select Setup > OTDR, and then press Enter.
2. Use the left/right function arrows until you see Storage, and then
display the pane (F1/F2 key).
3. Use the up/down arrows to select File name prefix or File name
suffix.
4. Press Enter to display the on-screen keyboard.
5. Enter the name (prefix) or number (suffix), and then press OK
(F1/F2 key) to hide the keyboard.
