SFP stats signal query

Hi all so I've been doing reading that mikrotik has enabled the view of stats such as signal , power , distance, wavelength etc via the router.

I do these tests with a proper TDR and fibre modules

So I learned recently this requires sfp to have extended diagnostics called ddmi
Please confirm this ?

Also I read that it is enabled on CCR
I have a RB2011. But.... The stats section under the sfp interface show nothing

Can we confirm that it works on the rb2011 ?
If no will it ever work on rb2011 or will it only work on future revisions of hardware ?
Please explain, I could find good value if the rb2011 can do this it will give me the ability to do testing for our contractors as a quick tester
P.S staf I would love to see a screenshot or eg of it
Anyone ?

It only works on CCR. And yes your module needs DDMI.

From what I have been told this may be added to RB2011 in future hardware revisions.
