Overlay trace function
This very useful function enables up to eight traces to be displayed on the screen at
once:
•
either to compare traces acquired on a number of different fibers in the same
cable,
•
or to observe changes over time in traces taken of one and the same fiber.
•
or to compare both curves get for each way of propagation in the origin/end
mode.
For this purpose, the Platform possesses an overlay memory which can store:
•
the current trace, for comparison with further traces to be acquired subsequently,
•
or traces previously saved, for comparison with the current trace,
Overlaying several traces stored in memory
To display two traces from the memory, deleting the current trace or traces already
