OTDR trace report
Open the file, press Report, get a PDF, with nothing to install. The sheet carries the trace with event marks, the event table, the acquisition conditions and the instrument's totals.
Free, and no sign-up. One fibre at a time: if a wavelength pair is on the canvas, both go on the sheet.

Point your phone camera at the code: this is how your customer sees the trace.
The form is ours, and there is one of it. Whatever the file states is printed from the file; the rest you fill in by hand.
Site, cable, fibre, customer, operator, instrument, calibration date. What the file names is printed from the file and cannot be edited on the form; the empty rows you fill in yourself, and they stay with the report across a reload.
The whole trace goes on the sheet, not the current zoom. Every printed table row gets a tick on the curve carrying its own number, so the row and the place on the chart find each other.
Seven columns: number, distance, type, loss, reflectance, slope, cumulative loss. The totals are the instrument's, and where it recorded nothing the cell holds a dash rather than a figure of ours.
The thresholds you set on screen are printed on the sheet with the verdict and a list of what went over them. A threshold you left empty is not printed, so no blank box invites anyone to pencil in a limit.
.sorA file from EXFO, Anritsu, VIAVI, Fluke or INNO goes to PDF with the same button: .trc, .msor, .csor, .tst. There is nothing to unpack or convert first, and an archive of traces opens as it is.
There is nothing to install. The page opens by link on macOS, Windows and Linux, from a tablet and from a phone.
Our own findings stay off the sheet by construction, not by a setting: it prints what the instrument recorded.
Sign in with your email and the sheet gets a QR code and an address: your customer points a phone at it and sees the trace in the browser, with nothing to install. CSV export and a report for a pair of opposite-end traces of one fibre come with it. Signing in is free.
Many fibres at once is Professional: the whole set in one document, a summary table, .xlsx export and your own sheet with your logo. The sheet for a single fibre is free and will stay that way.
Open the file in the app and press Report. The PDF downloads straight away, with nothing to install and no sign-up.
Yes. .trc, .msor, .csor, .tst and INNO files go to PDF with the same button, with no conversion to .sor first.
Yes. The sheet for a single fibre is free with no sign-up, and if the fibre was measured at two wavelengths, both go on the sheet.
Yes, in the Professional plan: your own sheet with your logo, a sheet for every fibre in the set and a summary table.
There is not a single threshold value bundled in: what is acceptable on your site is known by your project and your customer.
