June 2026 releases notes

AXS version 1.9

Handheld units
New feature

Support for OTDR Test Configuration

  • Test parameters are automatically loaded from the test configuration files.
  • Configured parameters are protected from unintended changes.
  • The range, pulse width, acquisition mode, auto mode, wavelengths, IOR, detection thresholds, and pass/fail criteria now comply with the test configuration rules.
  • Editing capabilities are dynamically controlled based on whether or not the values are defined in the configuration file.
  • The acquisition mode displayed on the screen now accurately reflects the mode defined by the active configuration.
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8 OPM-enabled variants
New feature

Power Checker (OPM) test configuration support

  • Support for wavelengths defined in OPM test configuration files.
  • Support for OPM minimum and maximum threshold values.
  • The name of the active test configuration is displayed in the Power Checker interface.
  • The test configuration can be selected directly from a task.
  • OPM parameters and thresholds can be locked when controlled by the test configuration.
  • The name of the test configuration now appears in the summary generated and sent to the EXFO ecosystem.
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8
New feature

Advanced pass/fail criteria

  • Pass/Fail thresholds now support wavelength-specific values.
  • Thresholds are displayed by wavelength (1,310 nm / 1,550 nm / 1,650 nm).
  • Missing wavelength values are automatically replaced with the configured default values.
  • Modification rules apply independently to both configured and unconfigured values.
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8 OPM-enabled variants
New feature

Stage splitter support

AXS 1.9 expands PON analysis capabilities, increasing the number of splitter stages from two to three.

Supported features

  • Automatic splitter detection via iOLM
  • Manual OTDR analysis
  • Test configuration files
  • Graphical topology display
  • Report generation in PDF format
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8 OPM-enabled variants
New feature

Manual event type editing in Optimodes

Supported actions

  • Replace a splice with a connector.
  • Restore a splice in place of a modified connector.


Additional behavior

  • Threshold calculations are automatically recalculated after any changes.
  • Modified events are marked with an asterisk (*) in the results.
  • Reports include clear annotations for manually modified events.
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8 OPM-enabled variants
Product improvement

Reports by wavelength threshold

The OTDR reports generated now display thresholds specific to each wavelength

The improvements include the following:

  • Display of threshold values for 1,310 nm, 1,550 nm, and 1,650 nm.
  • Precise mapping between thresholds and wavelengths.
  • Improved readability of the reports.
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8 OPM-enabled variants
Product improvement

User experience

  • The text on the welcome screen has been updated to better new users.
  • Improved visibility of information regarding the active test configuration.
Available for:
AXS-115 AXS-120 AXS-130-SM1 AXS-130-SM7 AXS-130-SM8 OPM-enabled variants
