Opening Trace Files

You can open a maximum of two files at a time: a main trace and a

reference trace (if the corresponding feature is selected).

Your unit can display traces saved in native (.trc) and Bellcore (.sor)

formats.

To open trace files:

1. Press Menu, select OTDR, and then press Select.

2. Use the left/right function arrows until you

see Open, then display the pane (F1/F2 key).

3. If you enabled the reference trace feature

(see Setting General OTDR Parameters on

page 23), use the up/down arrows to select

the selection button corresponding to the

desired trace. Press Select to view the

browser.

Note: If desired, press New Folder to create folders (for more information,

see Creating Folders on page 63).

4. Use the up/down arrows to navigate in the

list. Use the right arrow to open a folder.

Highlight the desired file and press Open

(F1/F2 key).

5. If you enabled the reference trace feature,

repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other file.
