Using Zoom Controls

As soon as you select one of the zoom controls to change the scale of the
graph, a magnifying glass icon appears. When the scale changes, the trace
is always centered on the area surrounding the magnifying glass icon.

You can let the unit automatically adjust the zoom on the currently selected
event or zoom in on or out of the graph using manual zoom. You can also
return to the original graph scale.

Note: If you want the application to automatically zoom on the defined fiber

span,

see Setting General OTDR Parameters on page 24.

Note: If you do not see the zoom controls on your unit, they are probably

hidden

(see Setting General OTDR Parameters on page 24).

To automatically zoom in on the selected event:
1.
Press Menu, select OTDR, and then press Enter.

2. Use the left/right function arrows until you see Trace, and then display

the pane (F1/F2 key).

3. Press Enter to zoom in. Press Enter one more time to go to the second

level of zoom.

You can switch between the two levels of zoom by pressing Enter as
needed.
