Fluke: different test result management

From the first three types of twisted pair wires to the six types of tests released in June 2002, the Integrated Wiring Test; testing requirements from the original 10 Mbps five test parameters to the present more than a dozen testing parameters and testing frequency up to 250 Mhz; this means more complex testing methods and results analysis, the latest standards have gradually improved the accuracy of the instrument, testing requirements, and cooperation with application standards. In the latest six types of test standards, on-site testing and certification methods can be made for components, including jumpers and cables themselves. This is a good news for users, but with the standard changes and optimization, we have to mention the requirements for testing results and accuracy of testing instruments, from the management of the test report and the content of the test report, from the original three types of wiring test to the current six types of wiring test, the test results contain more and more data, it is more and more difficult for users to analyze these test results. Printing a test result report for a common cabling system usually has a huge stack. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the management of new wiring testing standard test results. Today, many certified testing instrument manufacturers provide some test report software for the test report, but not all manufacturers have the same test software. Here we will discuss the requirements of test result management and test software.

For the management of test results, we should pay attention to four parts. First, the test results are evaluated based on standards. Second, the translation of testing instrument accuracy. In general, if the difference between the test result and the test standard is less than the accuracy of the test instrument, you must prompt the user, this indicates that the test result is that the cabling performance is in a gray environment, so there is a * number in the test result. Third, the authenticity of the test results. If the test results can be easily changed, the test results and reports will be meaningless. Therefore, when managing the test results, we should try to make it impossible or difficult to change it to ensure its authenticity. Fourth, there are many test parameters and the test results have high requirements on accuracy. Therefore, the test management software is required to easily search, query, and process multiple reports. These four aspects are also considered when fluke networks designs LinkWare software for cabling testing products. For the first part, that is, the requirements for the selection of test standards, if the test standards have been changed for LinkWare, A * number will appear in the column of test standards, we know that this represents not the standard of the original industrial standard, but the standard that has been changed and the real standard has been divided into other standards. For the second part, that is, the management of test results and the translation of instrument precision, if each test result is in a gray position on LinkWare, A * number is displayed, for example, in the near-end crosstalk 12 and 36, if the worst margin is in the gray position, A * number is displayed on the item. In the overall test result, whether it is pass or not, there will be a * number next to it. Users who analyze the test results can quickly find out the problem based on this. For the third part, the test database in LinkWare is confidential, and you cannot modify any test result parameters in the database. This ensures that after testing, the test results sent to the computer using LinkWare for management are absolutely correct. In other words, if the user receives the test result from LinkWare, the user is confident that the test result is the real result originally tested with the test instrument. The transfer of test results using electronic files is easier to transmit and transmit than the printed test reports, and is more conducive to analysis and evaluation. For part 4, LinkWare provides a wide range of filtering and search functions, allowing you to easily find the test results you want to view. The LinkWare software can also categorize test reports easily, for example, by project, which makes it very convenient for cabling companies to process test results.

LinkWare is a free software provided by fluke networks to users of DSP series testers. Users can use LinkWare as a media and send the testing results to users, it is a platform for test result management and display. It is equivalent to providing users with a value-added service, making it easier for users to pass test results, linkWare can be downloaded directly from the Chinese website of fluke networks for free. With this powerful test result management system, you can increase your confidence in the test results and have a convenient solution to process the test results.

In addition, LinkWare not only targets the twisted pair wires, but also manages the cable testing results. For example, it can also be used as an OptiFiber Optical Fiber certified OTDR Analyzer of fluke networks, even through some testing result management platforms of Optical attenuation testing instruments. It can provide a general test result management platform, so that the management of the test results is very convenient and effective when the full range of cable tester products of fluke network company are used for testing.
