Method A, B, C included:
Method A: Loss results include one connection at one end of the link.
Method B: Loss results include connections at both ends of the link. Select this method for connections
shown in this manual. See "About Method B Connections" on page 20.
Method C: Loss results exclude connections at the ends of the link. Only the fiber loss is measured.
Different standards have different names for the three test methods. See Appendix A for details. The
Technical Reference Handbook provides additional information on test methods.
This setting does not affect loss results. It is only saved with the results to record which method you
used.
This setting does affect the reference and test connection diagrams shown on the tester's display. The
diagrams show connections for the method selected.
