Getting Section Loss and Attenuation
Although this method works fairly well for splice loss, it is clearly not
appropriate for reflective events (definitely not a “straight-line” event). A-B
LSA loss is mainly used to rapidly compute loss over a given length of a
fiber section.
Note: A-B LSA event loss measurements should be used on fiber sections only.
Measuring events will not yield meaningful results.
To get section loss and attenuation:
1. From the main window, select the Measure tab.
2. Tap the Section button. Markers A and B appear on the graph.
3. Place markers A and B at any two points on the trace. For more
information, see Using Markers on page 83.
4. Zoom in on the trace and fine-tune the marker positioning if necessary.
For more information, see Using Zoom Controls on page 109.
Note: There should not be any event between markers A and B when performing
a measurement.
