No. Everything runs in the browser — it opens by link, with no install and no admin rights, on any operating system.
Everything the site offers today is free, with no time limit: open a file from
any instrument, automatic event detection, cursor measurements, editing of
metadata, events and the curve, and export to .sor. What becomes
paid is the volume of work — we'll name the contents and the price on the
pricing page when the paid tier ships.
Bellcore/Telcordia SOR in both format generations — 1.x and 2.x — from any OTDR manufacturer: EXFO, Yokogawa, VIAVI, AFL and others, including multi-wavelength measurements at 1310 / 1550 / 1625 nm. If a file didn't open — send it to us and we'll work it out.
No. The original bytes are always kept inside the file itself — unchanged blocks are exported verbatim.
Reports in your template are in the works, next after the drum register. We don't ship a library of normative templates — instead we take apart the form your customer already accepts. Send a sample of such a package: samples are exactly what we build templates from.
For now it doesn't — there is no paid tier yet, and everything on the site is free. What becomes paid is the volume of work; we'll name the contents and the price on the pricing page when the tier ships. If your company has its own payment requirements — an invoice, a contract — write to our mail: right now a conversation about volume workflows is worth more to us than a price list.
