New features added to portable chip tester include user-configurable alarm thresholds for media delivery index (MDI) and other key IPTV metrics, as well as customisable test sequences
As all test results are acquired using different instruments, FastReporter consolidates the field-acquired test data of a fibre and enables single-view offline analysis through a truly intuitive graphical user interface (GUI).
Key post-processing challenges include analysing hundreds of files at the same time, manually adding and deleting events in OTDR traces, integrating measurements from different instruments in a single report, customising reports to particular specifications, handling long and complex reporting tasks, and many more.
FastReporter meets all of these challenges head-on with a number of post-processing functionalities, such as live templating for OTDR testing, powerful batch processing, ultra-fast bidirectional batch analysis, as well as other highly flexible reporting features.
