Step 3: Import the traces. Drag and drop the SOR files into the software interface. Most hot converters automatically merge multiple traces into one project.

Step 4: Adjust the display (Optional). The "hot" trick: Adjust the Y-axis (dB) and X-axis (distance) so the trace looks perfectly framed. Zoom into the event of interest. Open SOR in SORReader or Teledyne OTDR Viewer

Step 5: Generate the Report. Click "Export" or "Print." Select PDF as the output format. Pro Tip: Uncheck "Save as Image" and ensure "Save as Vector" is checked.
