The problem is when you have bad traces that need rework. The guys go out in
the field, resplice, re test and then you have to manually edit in the rework
tests into the big files of all the tests. 216 strands, two directions two
wavelengths. 864 files total.
Takes some care to pick through all that crap and splice in the good test
results.
But yes, I am regretting buying Viavi. I wish I had spent the extra money on
Exfo.

Buy smarter OTDR’s. The new ones are very good at analyzing the trace and
interpreting the results.

It would take longer to teach someone what to do than do do it myself.
Showing someone what an OTDR trace looks like and how to find out of spec
splices or reflectance events is not easily transferable.

Data Entry like that is one of the many services offered for extremely low

Not this trip. I have most of my kids and grandkids here so we are showing
them around Ohau. I prefer Kauai.

So, here I sit in Oahu combing through thousands of OTDR traces that I
need to hand into a customer. We had some rework to do so I have to find the
rework trace results and manually swap files into the transmittal file... Been
at this for days. I am down to needing to re test one strand of one cable in
one direction but we are missing retest data for that same cable for about 30
strands in the other direction. I know they are good because all the B to A
shots are clean. But I am missing the rework files for A to B. Argh.....
I coughed up the dough to bring all my kids and grandkids on this once
in a lifetime extravaganza. At least I mastered the metro bus system. Had to
ride across town to buy a mouse as I forgot to pack one. None of my kids
volunteered to drive me and I am not on the rental car agreement.
So, half blind from combining massive pdf files all day, but at least I
am mostly done...
Does anyone feel sorry for me?
