MAIN FUNCTIONS OF OTDR

What is OTDR ?
An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic
instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. An OTDR is the optical
equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer. It injects a series of
optical pulses into the fiber under test.
It also extracts, from the same end of the fiber, light that is scattered
(Rayleigh backscatter) or reflected back from points along the fiber. (This is
equivalent to the way that an electronic time-domain reflectometer
measures reflections caused by changes in the impedance of the
cable under test.) The strength of the return pulses is measured and
integrated as a function of time, and is plotted as a function of fiber length.

Main functions of OTDR:

1. Fast automatic test
Automatic test function allows the user not to have to know more
details about the equipment operation, test steps become very simple. User
only needs to connect in the optical fiber, click Test button, then the
instrument will automatically set optimal test conditions and eventually give
accurate test results, such as the test curve and event lists.
2. Fast curve analysis
It can find out the event point or failure point in test curve and its location
information quickly and accurately test curve, and list all event information
in the circuit in the form of event list. This is very helpful for circuit
maintenance personnel, not only improves the testing efficiency, but also
eliminates the need to learn difficult background knowledge.
3. Powerful document management
In addition to the ability to store, view, delete the files in the machine, it
also provides PCL language-based laser or jet printers to print test
reports. Besides, it also utilizes PC software to realize high-speed
communications with PC via USB cable.
4. Convenient VFL function
With visual IR VFL function, it can easily and quickly find the locations of
disconnecting points or big loss points in short-distance optical fiber links,
so that the maintenance personnel could take measures in shortest time
therefore saving a lot of time.

5. Manual test mode

Users can choose real-time test mode or average test mode according to
the testing needs. Real-time test can fast test the dynamic change of
optical-fiber links. It is mainly used for the connecting occasions requiring
monitoring or observing optical-fiber links at real time.
6. Average test mode
Average test mode is used to withhold the noise in test curves to the most
extent, therefore obtain more accurate testing results. In average test mode,
the number of averaging tines will influence the effects of suppressing the
noise in test curves. The bigger the number of time is, the effect the time is,
but the testing time is to be extended accordingly. Therefore, user should
set averaging time based on actual need.
