 The fiber type and test limit the tester used for the test, and
the ID the tester will use for the next results that you save.
 When a test is completed, the window shows information for
the event that has the worst measurement. The information
windows show the worst results of the wavelengths used for
the test.
If the window border is green, the measurements for the event
do not exceed the limits.
If the window border is red, a measurement exceeds the limits.
If the window border is blue, the tester does not give a pass or
fail result to the event because it cannot do a full analysis of the
event. This occurs for OTDR Port, Hidden, and End events. This
occurs for all events if you use the Document Only test limit
because Document Only does not have values for limits.
When you use a test limit that has a reflectance limit, Hidden
events show a fail status if their reflectance exceeds the limit.
: The measurement exceeds the limit.
: The measurement is within the limit.
To see details for the event, tap the window.
To see information for another event, tap another icon on the
map.
Note
Events before the launch cord connector and after
the tail cord connector do not have a pass or fail
status.
