When Loss/Length Method is selected, the FrameScope 350 calculates the limit based on the length of the cable tested. You can set values for connectors, loss per connector, splices, and loss per splice. The connector and splice losses are added to the loss that is calculated by multiplying the length of the fiber by the loss/Km specification of the selected cable, which is shown at the bottom of the Setup screen.

Loss Limit Setup screen, the screen changes to the following:
