4 Select three launch cords that have the same type of fiber as
the fiber you will test. The connectors must be the correct
type for each connection you will make. If necessary, you can
connect two launch cords together to make a loopback cord
that has the same connectors on both ends.
5 On the home screen, tap SET COMP.
6 On the SET LAUNCH METHOD screen tap SmartLoop.
7 Clean and inspect the OTDR port and connectors on the three
launch cords.
8 Make the connections shown in Figure 154 on page 379.
9 Tap SET.
10 When the SET LAUNCH COMP screen shows, make sure the
tester shows the correct distances for the end of the launch
cord and the start of the tail cord.
Note
If the fibers have APC connectors, the tester possibly
will not find the correct launch and tail events. If this
occurs, do the compensation again and select
Manual Entry to enter the lengths of the cords
manually.
11 Tap SAVE.
