Scatter coefficient
In the Preset Scatter parameter, define the value for the backscatter to be used in
measurements. Auto is the recommended setting.

In Multimode, two predefined scatter coefficients are available:
Generic 50
Generic 62.5
The default values are given in the paragraph
Distance Unit
Define the unit of the distances displayed: km, kfeet, miles, meter, feet.

Predefined index values (Multi Mode) - Not available in SmartOTDR
Select, for each wavelength, the backscatter coefficient of -99 dB to -
50 dB by increments of 0.1dB. Modification of the backscatter coeffi-
cient K changes the measurements of reflectance and ORL.
Backscatter coefficients are selected automatically for each wave-
length.
