Field notes
The span workflow is described in field terms: taps, splitters, directional couplers, amplifiers, equalizers, and nodes, with forward, return, and AC values considered together. The reference material names specific equipment lines and standards, while the replacement tool organizes damaged, removed, new, temporary, and bore footage alongside ticket and claim details. Saved designs, reusable work areas, and live-map drawing appear in the roadmap rather than the listed completed tools.
