Test Type
(cont.)
FaultMap: The FaultMap test can show connections that
do not show on the OTDR EventMap and connections that
are poor because they have high reflectance. See “The
FaultMap Test” on page 174.
SmartLoop OTDR (Auto) and SmartLoop OTDR (Manual):
The SmartLoop test lets you connect the far ends of the
two fibers in a link so that one OTDR test gives you results
for both fibers. The Auto and Manual settings operate the
same as for the OTDR test. See “The SmartLoop Test” on
page 180.
Manual OTDR
Settings
This item shows only if you select Manual OTDR or
SmartLoop OTDR (Manual) for the Test Type. Manual
OTDR mode lets you select settings to control the qualities
of the trace. See the Technical Reference Handbook.
Bi-Directional This setting shows only if you select SmartLoop OTDR
(Auto) or SmartLoop OTDR (Manual) for the Test Type.
Off: The tester does the SmartLoop test in only one
direction.
On: The tester does the SmartLoop test in both directions
and automatically calculates bi-directional averages of
loss. See “Bi-Directional SmartLoop Tests” on page 185.
Launch
Compensation
Tap the control to turn the launch compensation function
on or off. See“About Launch and Tail Cords” on page 156.
Wavelength Select the wavelengths you want to use. You can do tests

you selected.
Fiber Type Select a fiber type that is correct for the type you will test.
To see a different group of fiber types, tap MORE, then
tap a group.
Note
Select a fiber type before you select a test limit
and wavelengths. The tester shows only the test
limits and wavelengths that are applicable to the
selected fiber type.
