Markers

Markers M1 through M6 can be activated from the Plot Properties menu.

The six active markers can be displayed on the plot to help identify faults from the line sweep data.

Misc.

The Miscellaneous tab allows adjustment of the Plot/Limit Line Width and the setting of the Plot Footer.

Plot/Limit Line Width can be used when preparing reports for the carrier, ser- vice providers, and network operators where the trace data must be visible and legible for documentation. The line density of the trace can be set to Normal (Thin Line) or Thick Line to make the data appear easily when copies are made.

Plot Footer allows selection of information to be displayed in the trace display. Selections are:

￿

Overlay Indicator

Trace Overlay or Plot Overlay

Trace Overlay is activated by the Mouse Function icon. Single-click on the Mouse Function icon to toggle. Toggling this icon switches the mouse function between Marker/Limit/Zoom and Plot Overlaying.

To overlay two plots, click-and-drag from one plot to the other plot. The final display will be the two plots superimposed on one another.

Refer to the SMST HELP function for more information on the steps necessary to perform a trace overlay.

Saving Traces

Once the plots are captured to the PC they can be saved as individual files or as a block of files to a database.

Saving a Plot as a Windows Metafile or to a Spreadsheet

Plots can be saved as a Windows metafile (.wmf) or as a text file (.txt). The metafile may be imported into graphic programs and the text file can be imported into spreadsheet.

To save a plot as a Windows metafile, click on the File menu and select Save as Metafile from the pull down menu. Once the trace is saved as a metafile, it can be copied and trans- ferred into other applications as a picture or graphic file.

To copy a metafile:

Step 1. Select the trace to be copied with the mouse cursor.

Step 2. Select Edit and then Copy. The file will copied to clipboard.
