Viewing splicing program parameters
I
f you wish to look at a listing of the splicing program param-
eters for a particular program you should press ENTER, as if
you wanted to change splicing program, and then, rather
than answer “Yes” or “No” to the question “New program?,”
press VIEW. This will bring up the screen-viewer for the
program in memory (see adjacent example). You can flip
through pages by pressing VIEW, and when you are finished
reviewing the parameters, you press ENTER to exit the
screen-viewer (or press YES or NO, thereby directly entering
the sequence for splicing program selection at step B, see p.
14). You should keep in mind, though, that this is only an
option for non-confidential programs.

MCVD and OVD refer to fiber production methods, and respectively stand for
“Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition” and “Outside Vapor Deposition.”
Splicing mode
The term “splicing mode” in singular is not to be confused
with the two splicing modes: Automode and Manual mode.
When the FSU 995 is “in splicing mode,” or “returns to
splicing mode,” it means that it is ready to splice on your
command. In short, it represents a state of splicing readi-
ness. The FSU 995 FA exits splicing mode whenever you
press ENTER to select a program or to edit a program.
