The same procedure is then repeated in the case of splic-
ing process. The splicer will ask “Change process type?”,
and you respond by pressing Yes if you do indeed want to
change it.
If you only wanted to change the fiber type, and do not want
to change the splicing process, you can press No and go on
to step 8.
If you press Yes, the list of splicing processes will present
itself one by one in the message field, while you scroll
through the list by pressing No. If by chance you miss the
splicing process you want you can get it back in the monitor
by pushing No until the list wraps around (eg. If you press No
after “Pulling or tapering?” you will next see “Normal splic-
ing!?” again).
When the splicing process you want is in the message field
you should press Yes.

EDIT CONTROL PARAS?

This step only applies if you are editing a program that uses a
splicing process with control parameters (eg. if the splicing
process is NORMAL SPLICING, the splicer will not ask you
whether you want to edit control parameters). In the cases
that there are control parameters, the splicer will ask you
“Edit control paras?.” You have the option at this point of
pressing the VIEW button and bringing up the screen-viewer
to see what values the parameters have. The screen-viewer
will come up with the fiber type and splicing process high-
lighted as seen in the picture on the previous page.
If you decide that do want to edit the control parameters,
press Yes.
If you press No, you go on to step 9.
