FiberView Pro vs MapYourOTDR

FiberView Pro — Field Tools for Fiber Technicians FiberView Pro is the reference and documentation app built for fiber optic professionals. Four powerful tools in one fast, offline-ready app — color identification, field notes, audit tables, and drawing markups. No subscription. No account required. — FIBER COLOR IDENTIFICATION Instantly look up any fiber by tube and strand number across all major color coding standards. The visual ribbon chart gives you a color-accurate view of your entire cable layout at a glance. Your recent lookups are saved automatically so you can jump straight back to your last cable without starting over. Need something non-standard? Build custom cable configurations and save them for reuse across any job. — SMART NOTEPAD Take rich, formatted notes straight from the field. Bold, italic, underline, bullet lists — your documentation looks professional from the moment you write it. Organize notes into folders and smart folders that update automatically based on content. Start quickly with built-in templates for splice logs, strand notes, and job summaries. When the job is done, export any note as a clean PDF or print it directly from the app — ready for client handoffs and job closeout packages. — AUDIT TABLES Build structured inspection and audit tables without opening a spreadsheet. Create custom columns, enter test readings, and keep every table organized by job. When you're ready, export a polished, print-ready PDF to attach to work orders or send directly to clients. Smart folders surface your most recent audits automatically so your active work is always front and center. — REDLINE DRAWINGS Import any PDF — as-builts, floor plans, fiber diagrams — and mark them up right in the app. Annotate with arrows, shapes, freehand ink, and text labels. Pinch to zoom and pan through multi-page documents with precision. When your markup is complete, export a finished redlined PDF ready for engineering review or client approval. No laptop. No desktop software. No extra steps. — ICLOUD SYNC Your notes, tables, and redlines sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Start a note on iPhone in the field and review it on your iPad back at the office — no setup required. — Works fully offline. Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud. Built by technicians, for technicians.

MapYourOTDR turns your iPhone or iPad into a full OTDR trace analyzer — read, interpret, and report on optical-fiber test data without the instrument's desktop software, and entirely offline. Open a Telcordia SR-4731 (.sor) file from any OTDR and get an interactive trace you can pinch-zoom, pan, and measure. Drop two markers to read the distance, loss, and attenuation across any span — the way you would on the instrument itself. WHAT IT DOES - Decode and plot .sor traces with full acquisition parameters - Automatic event classification — connectors, splices, gainers, ghosts, fiber end - A/B two-marker measurement: distance, 2-point loss, and dB/km - Link health score with a clear pass/fail verdict - ORL, section attenuation, uniformity, and a full loss-budget breakdown - Baseline comparison — overlay a commissioning trace and see exactly what changed - Bidirectional true splice loss — pair both directions and average out the backscatter bias (ITU-T G.650.3 method), with gainers resolved - Dual-wavelength macrobend detection — compare 1310 vs 1550 nm and flag bends that lose more at the longer wavelength - On-device PDF test reports, branded with your company and name - CSV export of the event table LEARN 23 illustrated, vendor-neutral topics covering dead zones, dynamic range, reflectance, ghosts, gainers, bidirectional testing, PON and splitter testing, multimode limits, OTDR variants, calibration, fiber types, and a field troubleshooting workflow. TOOLS Field calculators for distance, dead zone, reach from dynamic range, loss budget, optical-vs-route length, splitter loss, and averaging gain. SIMULATE Generate synthetic traces with seeded faults — connectors, splices, gainers, macrobends, ghost echoes — to practise reading them. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no ads. Every trace is parsed, analyzed, and turned into a report on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Free to use: trace viewer, basic analysis, demo traces, the core simulator, and 7 LEARN topics. A one-time Pro unlock adds the full analysis engine, all 23 topics, every simulator fault, configurable thresholds, and PDF/CSV export. Built for fiber-optic field technicians and network engineers. Grounded in public standards — Telcordia SR-4731, ITU-T G.650.x / G.652 / G.657, IEC 61746, TIA-568.
