Tap, swipe, pinch, or press. The AQ1000 has a high-resolution and responsive 5.0-inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen and hard-key buttons which make its operations simpler and intuitive. And with just the press of a button, the AQ1000 initiates an OTDR measurement and detects and comprehensively characterizes network events with PASS/FAIL decisions based on user-defined thresholds. Measurement data can be saved automatically if desired. OTDR has trace view mode and maps view mode. Trace view mode is a traditional view mode with OTDR waveforms and event markers. The map view is a simple, icon-based view mode for easy interpretation of network events. In addition, the AQ1000 OTDR has a built-in power checker, light source, and visible light source.
A power checker helps measure and display the optical power of the incoming light to test the network performance. The light source produces a steady, continuous-wave/modified light to accurately measure end-to-end attenuation when paired with an optical power sensor while the visible light source is the continuity of the launch fiber or short fiber trunk. Produces red light for the probe. Breaking and bending in the fiber can be detected visually. The AQ1000 is capable of data transfer and remote control in collaboration with wireless LAN-enabled devices. Along with this, the OTDR AQ1000 comes with data handling features like direct data saving, PDF reporting, and data transfer. Users can simply press the “Direct Save” icon, with which the measured data can be saved in SOR or PDF format as per the prior selection of the users. Along with PDF reporting, built-in post-processing software is used to generate OTDR reports in PDF format. Flexible configuration of report templates to meet users’ report needs. With the help of Data Transfer, the data files or PDF report files that are stored in the AQ1000 can be easily transferred to a PC via a USB connection.

What is OTDR?
An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is a precision instrument used to detect events or faults along with a fiber link, typically within an optical communications network. It injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test and, from the same end of the fiber, the light that is scattered or reflected from points along with the fiber. The scattered and/or reflected light that is collected back is used to characterize the optical fiber. This electronic time-domain meter is a similar method of measuring reflections due to changes in the impedance of the cable under test. The strength of the return pulse is measured and integrated as a function of time and plotted as a function of fiber length.
What is OTDR used for?
The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is useful for testing the integrity of fiber optic cables. It can verify splice loss, measure the length, and find defects. OTDR is also commonly used to photograph fiber optic cable when it is newly installed.
How does an OTDR work?
OTDR sends a pulse of light energy (optical power) generated by a laser diode into one end of an optical fiber. A photodiode measures the returning light energy or optical power (reflected and scattered) over time and converts it into an electrical value that is sampled, amplified, and displayed graphically on a screen. The location of each incident and the overall cable length are calculated based on the round-trip time of the light pulse traveling through the fiber core. The insertion loss is calculated from the amplitude change proportional to the backscattered light.
Many modern OTDR devices automatically select the optimal acquisition parameter for a particular fiber by sending a test pulse in a process called auto-configuration, auto-setup, or autotest. Despite advanced technology that now allows many OTDR testing systems to automatically determine the best settings for your testing process, it is still important to understand what the underlying settings are and how they can affect your results.
