Extech Reporter
Overview
Extech fiber optic certification meters are designed to certify fiber optic links using cabling standards because
we understand the importance of qualifying your fiber installations with standards-compliant test equipment.
Extech Reporter software comes FREE with Extech certification meters, and is used to print professionally
formatted reports showing the conformity to these popular industry standards. You can print out these reports
as a record of the original conformity to quality set by the standards. These documents signed by all
associated parties may prove valuable in any future disputes concerning the installation.
Each Extech certification meter comes with a CD-ROM containing Extech Reporter software and a RS-232
download cable. Extech Reporter requires a PC with a Pentium or better processor and Windows 95 or later,
as well as a RS-232 serial port. PCs that only have USB ports can use a USB-to-serial converter.
