1. An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) comprising:
a user interface, said user interface comprising: a setup menu comprising a plurality of user settings that display information corresponding to a different parameters of a test, said plurality of user settings comprising:
an event resolution setting that displays an event resolution of the test;a test duration setting that displays a test duration of the test; anda dynamic range setting that displays a dynamic range of the test, wherein:
said dynamic range setting that receives a quantitative dynamic range input from a user, wherein the quantitative dynamic range input is at least one numeric value with units in dB; anda receipt of the quantitative dynamic range input affects at least one of the group consisting of the event resolution of the test displayed in said event resolution setting and the test duration of the test displayed in said test duration setting; andwherein said dynamic range setting, said event resolution setting, and said test duration setting are displayed in said setup menu with a dynamic range graphical control that indicates a range of possible dynamic ranges of the test, an event resolution graphical control that indicates a range of possible event resolutions of the test, and a test duration graphical control that indicates a range of possible test durations of the test, respectively.
