Customizing the Acquisition Time Values

Note: This function is available in Advanced mode only.

You can customize the values associated with the Time dial. The

acquisition time values represent the time during which the OTDR will

average acquisitions.

Note: The Auto and Real values cannot be modified.

You can customize the acquisition time to improve the signal-to-noise ratio

(SNR) of the trace and enhance the detection of low-level events. The SNR

improves by a factor of two (or 3 dB) each time the acquisition time is

increased by a factor of four.
