Pulses of light are injected
into the fiber under test. The
delay and intensity of light
scattered or reflected back to
the instrument is calculated
and displayed as events along
the fiber. Thresholds can be
set for the various events such
as splices, bends, connectors
and the end of the fiber.
Antenna Alignment
Upload complete test results
Make sure the antenna is pointed
via VIAVI MobileTech App in the right direction (azimuth)
and tilt. Document the antenna’s
field of view through the camera
embedded in the alignment tool.
