Setting the Autorange Acquisition Time

Note: This function is available both in Advanced and Auto modes.

When performing automatic acquisitions in Advanced mode (see Testing

Fibers in Advanced Mode on page 55) or before activating Auto mode (see

Testing Fibers in Auto Mode on page 51), you can set an autorange

acquisition time for the OTDR to average acquisitions over a set time

period.

The application uses this value to determine the best settings for the test.

To set the autorange acquisition time:

1. From the button bar, press OTDR Setup then go to the Acquisition tab.

2. Go to the Autorange acquisition time box and press the up or down

arrow to select your preference. The default value is 30 seconds.

3. Press Exit OTDR Setup to return to the OTDR application.
