Tutorial: Do a Bi-directional SmartLoop Test

The tutorial in this section gives instructions on how to set up for
a bi-directional SmartLoop test, set up the launch compensation
function, make connections, do a test, and save the results.
When you do a bi-directional SmartLoop test, one OTDR test at
one end of the link gives you bi-directional results for both fibers.
Also, the tester automatically averages the bi-directional results
and includes the averaged results in the test record.
Figure 15 shows the equipment necessary for this tutorial.
