Testing Fibers

Performing Measurements
Performing Measurements
The OX1 allows you to test fibers with different test functions. You may
want to set basic parameters before starting a measurement according to
your needs:
³ the wavelengths at which you want to perform the measurements
(see Selecting Test Wavelengths on page 54 for details)
³ the thresholds associated with the pass/fail criteria (customized or
EXFO Advisor) (see Working With Custom Pass/Fail Thresholds or
EXFO Advisor on page 64 for details)
³ the length of the launch and receive test cords (see Working With
Launch and Receive Test Cords on page 29 for details)
³ the IOR value (see Configuring the IOR Value on page 86 for
details)
³ the possibility to go to the next test with a pass status when
working with a TestFlow job (see Configuring the Unit’s Behavior
After a Pass Measurement on page 163 for details)
Note: At any time, you can switch from local measurements (that are not part of
a TestFlow job) to measurements within a TestFlow job. All the
measurements are kept in memory. You can also open, in turn, the power
checker and the source page.
Note: When a measurement is underway, the navigation arrows are disabled
and you cannot browse through the measurements you have already
performed.
