A Description of OTDR Event
Types
This section describes all types of events that may appear on the graphic
generated by the application. Here is a guide to the descriptions:
³ Each type of event has its own symbol.
³ Each type of event is represented by a graph of a fiber trace, which
illustrates the power reflected back toward the source as a function of
distance.
³ An arrow points to the location of the event type in the trace.
³ Most graphs show one complete trace; that is, an entire range.
³ Some graphs show only a portion of the entire range to view events of
interest more closely.
