Trace.net OTDR Trace Display, Analysis and Archiving Software

AFL’s Trace.Net software is a Windows®-based application designed to view, analyze, edit, and print OTDR trace files uploaded from AFL OTDRs including the OFL280 FlexTester, OFL250 and M200 OTDRs. Trace.Net’s intuitive user interface displays graphical OTDR trace, event table, setup info, and fiber identification data.

For the M200 (with software release 2.0 or higher), M700, and C850, AFL’s Trace Results Management software provides enhanced trace analysis and documentation capability including archiving of inspection and loss testing measurements.

Trace analysis is facilitated through trace zooming, panning, and event table step-through. Two cursors are provided, providing distance, loss, reflectance and fiber attenuation measurements between cursors. Editing capabilities allow events to be added, removed, or updated in the event table. Auto Event capability analyzes an OTDR trace to automatically detect events and create an event table. When manually adding events, the user may select between two-point and LSA event loss measurement methods. Pass/Fail event thresholds may be adjusted and reapplied to the event table. Additionally, text comments may be added.

Trace.Net software accepts and displays OTDR trace data stored in standard or .SOR file format.  defined by Telcordia SR-4731 and GR-196.

The figure and table below provide an overview of Trace.net capabilities accessible from the main screen.  More details on Trace.net capabilities and operation can be found in the Trace.net User Guide.

Update

AFL Noyes® announced that it has added increased functionality to its Trace Results Manager (TRM®) reporting  software package. TRM now supports 10GbE IEEE802.3ae fiber certification as well as integration with its popular OFL280 FlexTester and OFL250 OTDR products. TRM provides comprehensive reporting capability with more report templates and new feature functionalities.

We encourage you to get benefits of TRM analysis and reporting software as a part of complete fiber testing solution. This new software version is free of charge to customers using Noyes OTDR, OLTS and OPM products.

Test Results Manager-TRM® software may be downloaded from the AFL website here.

Trace.net is shipped on CD with OFL280 FlexTesters.  Trace.net may also be downloaded here.
