Description

LOOKING FOR ICON-BASED MAPPING?

LINEAR-VIEW (INCLUDED on all EXFO OTDRs)

In-Service Troubleshooting

Available on our OTDRs since 2006, the linear view simplifies the reading of an OTDR trace by displaying icons in a linear way for each wavelength. It converts the graph data points you obtain from a traditional single pulse trace into reflective or non-reflective icons. With applied pass/fail thresholds, it becomes easier to pinpoint faults on you link.

This improved version of linear view provides flexibility to display both the OTDR graph with its linear view without the need to toggle to analyze your fiber link.

Even though it simplifies the OTDR reading of a single pulse width’s trace, the user still needs to set OTDR parameters. Additionally, it is often required to perform multiple traces to fully characterize fiber links. See how the iOLM can perform this automatically and with more accurate results.
