IOR: The tester uses the index of refraction to calculate
the optical length of the fiber. Each fiber type includes
the value specified by the manufacturer. To use a
different IOR, make a custom fiber type. See the
Technical Reference Handbook.
Test Limit Select the correct test limit for the job. To see a different
group of limits, tap MORE, then tap the name of a
group. To make a custom limit, tap Custom in the Limit
Groups list. See the Technical Reference Handbook.
