Getting Started Testing Fiber
Selecting a Test Limit
Select a fiber type before selecting a test limit.
The fiber type determines which test limits are
available.
The tester offers generic and industry-standard test limits
for testing fiber cable. The tester uses the selected limit to
produce PASS/ FAIL results.
To select a test limit, press
select TEST LIMIT. Each test's tab shows only the limits
that include the selected fiber type and parameters for
that test.
Generic limits, such as General Fiber and Document only,
let you run tests when no industry-standard limit applies
and you do not want to create a custom limit. The
Document only limit does not produce PASS/FAIL results.
Custom limits you create are marked with asterisks (*). To
create a custom limit, press
Test Limit. See Chapter 10 for details.
