INDEX LIMIT 0.4

Step-by-step:
In the adjacent example, you will first see “Index limit” with its
present value, which you can change by pressing the first
two numerical buttons (from the left) until the desired value is
displayed. You then press ENTER.
The next control parameter is Threshold type, which will be
presented to you in the form of a list of all the possible val-
ues. You scroll through this list by pressing No, until the
desired value is displayed. You then press Yes.
The last mode field matching parameter is LOSS FACTOR,
which will appear in the
message field
along with its present
value. You enter a new value, if desired, with the numerical
buttons, and then press ENTER.

As all splicing processes have different control parameters (see
pages 28-35), we will take the control parameters for mode field
matching as an example. The range for possible values for
mode field matching control parameters is listed on p. 37.

The following example is for a
program using mode field matching:

You should note that the procedure for editing control
parameters has a logic that applies to all parameter edit-
ing, so once you are used to the logic for control param-
eter editing, you will know how to change any FSU 995 FA
parameter (see also p. 53 for a review of this logic).
In short:
Each of the parameters appears successively in the
message
field
, and you first change its value with either the number
buttons, in the case of quantitative parameters, or Yes and
No buttons, in the case of a binary (On/Off) parameters, and
then press ENTER to save the new value. The only excep-
tions are parameters, such as Threshold type test, which
have several distinct, non-numerical values. These param-
eters will present themselves as fiber type and splicing pro-
cess do.
In the example shown to the right, the values you can
change are highlighted. However, they will not be high-
lighted in the
message field
of the splicer.
