Real-time and average measurement
Real-time measurement canquickly judge basicfaults of optical fiber. Press
button to start real-timemeasuring. During measuring, you can change
range, zoom inor zoom out. Press button again or button to
stop. The devicewill not analysesevent after real-time measurementin default.
Unless you turn onRT analyse in System settings, thedevice will analyseevents
according to thelast refreshed waveform.
Average measurement canjudge the line condition more accurate. It can geta
better SNR andfits high requirementcircuit. Press button to start. Usercan
set measurement timefrom 5 secondto 180 second. The device analysesevents and
generates event listautomatically. Press button during measuring,device
will stop measuring,analyses events andgenerates event listautomatically.

the judgment of eventslist is based on.Wrong setting mightleads to wrongor
missing events.
Wavelength---wavelength of laser.
Scan mode---manual and automode. Under auto mode,it will match the
distance, range and pulsewidth.
Range---match with the lengthof measured optic fiber, usually over onelevel.
Pulse width---set the pulsewidth of output laser. Usually,small pulse width can
measure close event, large pulse width canmeasure remote distance, but
enlarge event's blindarea.
Average time--- canset between 5 secondand 180 second asaverage
measurement time.
Splice loss---treat as anevent when the lossis higher than settingvalue.
Reflection threshold---treat as anevent when the reflectionis higher than settingvalue.
End threshold---treat as theend of optic fiberwhen the loss ishigher than setting value.
Refractive rate---represent the averagerefractive index of entireoptic fiber.
Scatter coefficient--- the intrinsicvalue of Rayleigh Scattering.
