OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER WHICH MEASURES AN OPTICAL FIBER WITH DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS ACCORDING TO AN ORDER AND COLLECTIVELY DISPLAYS WAVEFORM DATA AND A LIST OF EVENTS FOR EACH WAVEFORM IN THE SAME SCREEN

摘要

A light pulse generator is connected with one end of an optical fiber which selectively emits light pulses of a plurality of wavelengths to the optical fiber. A photodetector outputs a signal corresponding to the strength of the light reflected from the optical fiber. A storage unit stores the signal output from the photodetector for each wavelength. A processor determines the position and characteristic of an event based on the waveform data for each wavelength stored in the storage device. A display device has first and second display areas. A display controller allows the first display area to display the waveform data for each wavelength stored in the storage unit in a discriminable manner, and allows the second display area to display a list of positions and characteristics of events for each wavelength determined by the processor.
