Data Post-Processing
The FTB-200 uses ToolBox Office software, which offers great functions:

Bidirectional trace analysis*

Improve the accuracy of your loss measurements with the bidirectional averaging feature, which
uses OTDR acquisitions from both ends of a fiber span to average loss results for each event.
*Available on singlemode OTDRs only.

Efficient multifiber testing with Template Trace

Reduce testing time when commissioning a large number of fibers by using the Template
Trace mode. This mode dynamically compares new OTDR results with a trace you assign
as a reference. Reference trace documentation is automatically pasted onto new
acquisitions to save you time.
Professional report generation
User-configurable test reports and batch printing let you generate complete, professional
OTDR reports quickly and efficiently.

Fast-Track Data Post-Processing with FastReporter Software

The optional FastReporter software package provides you with the post-processing tools and functionalities you need to achieve flexible,
fully integrated data analysis, whatever the application. Designed for off-line analysis of field-acquired data, FastReporter offers a truly
intuitive graphical user interface, which contributes to boosting productivity.

Powerful Batch Processing

Automate repetitive operations on large numbers of OTDR test files, and
optimize your productivity. Document an entire cable in a matter of seconds.
Adjust your cable parameters and detection thresholds and perform batch
analysis. Open OTDR files from various vendors’ equipment and convert them
to the universal Telcordia format.

Bidirectional Batch Analysis

Analyze an entire cable in just two steps. View data for all events on all fibers,
and at each wavelength, on a single screen.

Bidirectionnal Batch Analysis

Live Templating for OTDR Testing
Benefit from one-step file management at any wavelength. Keep full control by
adding or removing events manually, or add/remove events automatically using
a reference. Get uniform, detailed cable reports.

Flexible Reporting
Choose from various report templates, including loss and ORL, OTDR,
PMD, CD, fiber characterization and cable report. Generate comprehensive
cable reports in PDF, Excel or HTML format.
