Real-Time and High-Density Testing

For real-time and high-density testing, the Fiber Scan setup in the
Test Setup menu must be set to Manual mode, and the waveform
should be zoomed.
Real-Time Testing. Real-time testing is useful when adjusting fiber
connections and making splices because it immediately displays the
results of work being done. New data is acquired quickly and the
waveform is continually updated. Changes appear quickly on the
screen.
Real-time testing can be done on either the full or zoomed
waveform. However, to see more detail and for faster updating of the
display, zoom the waveform.
CAUTION. In real-time mode the laser fires continuously. Do not
operate the TFS3031 in real-time mode unless a fiber is connected to
the Laser Output port. Severe damage to internal electronics can
result.
High-Density Testing. High-density testing tests a specific section of
the fiber at higher density (the sample points are closer together).
