Selecting Auto or Manual OTDR Mode
Note
Typically, you should use Auto OTDR mode when
certifying cabling with the OTDR.
From the HOME screen, press L Change Test; then select
Auto or Manual.
In Auto OTDR mode, the tester automatically selects certain
settings based on the length and overall loss of the cabling.
This mode is the easiest to use, provides the most
comprehensive view of the events on the cabling, and is the
best choice for most applications.
Manual OTDR mode lets you select the settings to optimize
the OTDR for displaying specific events. See “Using Manual
OTDR Mode” on page 7-48 for details.
