Calibrator Mode (Qvr-Xt Only) - Arcom Digital Quiver XT User Manual

Note #1: you can see in the headend view
the CPD only for the node which node ID was
set in the Calibrator.
Note #2: the headend view is able to show
the CPD properly only for the previously
calibrated nodes.
Tip: to speed up the refresh rate of the
headend view make sure the nodes of you
interest are selected in the Scan Scheduler with
the Xcor Client. Another option is to use the
live CPD access in the WebView mode on the
smartphone.
When the Quiver is in Headend view, you
will see the Node IDs cycling sequentially on
the screen as they are scanned by the Headend
Radar. The red vertical bar on the screen
during scanning corresponds to the CPD
response from the node you selected in <Node
ID> setting field in Calibrator mode (see
setting Node Number). When Headend Radar
receives data for that selected node the Quiver generates an audible signal and the text
"Scanning node # xxx" under the Delay axis graph changes from blue to red. Then the
vertical bar changes color to blue when cycling through other nodes. The CPD's time
delay signal is shown above the vertical bar on the graph. The value shown is the time
distance as calculated from the fiber node – the distance between the headend and the
node is automatically subtracted.
Headend view is useful for quickly checking if a repair was successful, or to check
end of line conditions as mentioned above in the CPD Connections section.

Calibrator Mode (QVR-XT only)

Calibrator mode is used to find the exact time distance to a device from the
headend. Quiver does this by simulating a small source of CPD that the headend
recognizes as originating from Quiver. At the headend, the calibration information is
updated into the Hunter server database, which contains information about every
device in the network. This database is exported from Hunter to the Quiver Navigator
software along with the electronic system map.
