Creating a Custom Fiber Limit
You can create up to nine custom fiber limits. A custom
fiber limit includes the following settings:
•
Custom limit name
•
Baseline limit for default values
•
Maximum fiber length
•
Maximum loss at the wavelengths required by the
baseline limit.
To create a custom fiber limit:
1
Turn the rotary switch to SETUP; then select Fiber.
2
Select Test Limit, press J More; then select Custom.
3
Press J Create.

limit. Press
N when you are done.
5
On the Custom screen, select Use Default Values From,
select a limit group; then select a fiber limit as a
baseline for your custom limit.
6
The Custom screen shows other settings on multiple
tabs for the fiber test limit. Use AD and
H to select settings to change. Use BC to move
among the tabs.
See page 7-14 for details on fiber test parameters.
