<1>VIEW/EDIT/LOAD/PRN - opens a data point review screen. This first
appears showing the first data point in memory. Information about the data point
includes:
Link Name (ACME CORP.)
Fiber Name and Number (FBR:1)
Fiber Type (INDOOR SM)
Wavelength (1310nm)
Absolute Optical Power (-10.98dBm)
Relative Power (-1.98dB)
Test Result (PASS)
Several control functions can be performed from this screen. The function keys are used to navigate among
the stored data.
NEXT NAME - scrolls through all of the different fiber names stored in the FiberMeter.
NEXT RUN - scrolls through the data points stored with the currently displayed fiber name.
NEXT WAVE - each data point may have data stored for multiple wavelengths. This option scrolls
through the different wavelengths stored with this data point.
0=LOAD - loads the currently displayed fiber link, and returns the user to Immediate Mode to resume
taking data at the end of the stored readings of the link. For example, if there are 12 data points for
this link, then Immediate Mode will show FBR:13.
5=EDIT - loads the currently displayed fiber link, and returns the user to Immediate Mode to re-save
the data point. After the data point is edited, the user is returned to the end of the stored readings of
the current link. Using the example from above, Immediate Mode will
show FBR:1, and after the data is stored, the fiber name and number will
show FBR:13.
7=PRINT- sends detailed, formatted information about the data point to
the serial port. An screenshot of the serial port print format is at right.
