The suite connects project planning, field testing, test data transfer, centralized cloud storage, analysis, and reporting through FlexApp, FlexReports Cloud, and FlexReports PC software. FlexApp is a mobile application (iOS/Android) that wirelessly transfers test data between compatible AFL testand inspection equipment and FlexReports Cloud. Test results are synchronized in real time for centralized access, analysis, editing, and report generation using FlexReports Cloud or FlexReports PC software. FlexReports Cloud is a centralized, cloud-based platform for managing fiber optic testing projects from planning through final acceptance across data center, enterprise, and FTTH deployments. Through an intuitive web-based dashboard, project managers can create organizations projects and import project data from CSV files. The platform provides a scalable project workflow enabling supervisors to create and assign fiber testing projects, technicians to execute tests through the FlexApp and connected instruments, and stakeholders to instantly access results and generate large certification reports in seconds rather than minutes. FlexReports PC software integrates with FlexReporter centralized cloud storage to provide remote access to test results and powerful analysis, editing, and reporting capabilities. Available for Windows ® in Basic and Advanced versions, FlexReports PC software supports FlexScan ® OTDRs, FOCIS connector inspection products, optical power meters, and FlowScout ® OLTS certifiers. FlexReports Basic provides tools for viewing and analyzing test results and supports single-fiber OTDR and OLTS reporting. It also includes a 60-day trial of the Advanced version with Batch Editor functionality. FlexReports Advanced is a comprehensive reporting and post-processing solution for generating professional bi-directional OTDR, OLTS, and connector inspection reports that comply with industry standards. Advanced Batch Editor functionality enables users to update OTDR Pass/Fail limits, correct OTDR events, and streamline post-processing workflows. FlexReports Power provides reporting capabilities specifically designed for AFL’s FlowScout optical power meters and OLTS testers, enabling report generation from ATD files with Pass/Fail limit information.
