Preparing to Run a Fiber Autotest
The Fiber Autotest is a comprehensive test that reports PASS/FAIL results
based on user configurable limits. The Fiber Autotest will optionally generate
PASS/FAIL results for the fiber optic network specifications stored in the
Network Database.
Before you run the Autotest, however, it is important to verify that you have
properly prepared the WireScope 350 for your certification project.
