Fiber ID Options
You can create or select fiber IDs as follows:
•
You can create an ID after you press

also highlight a used or unused ID in a list; then press
t
to edit it into a new ID. The next time you press
s
, the tester increments the last character of the ID
you created (the auto increment feature).

configuring a template on the Job tab in Setup. Select
the IDs from the AUTO SEQ IDs list after you press

assigned to a record stored in the current folder. This
lets you overwrite existing results or add new results to
an existing record. Select the ID from the IDs IN
CURRENT FOLDER list after you press

Using the Auto Increment Feature
The auto increment feature increments the last
alphanumeric character in the fiber ID you enter. For
example, if you save a test with the ID “A0”, the tester
increments the ID to “A1” the next time you save a test. As
you save more tests, the ID increments from “A1” through
“A9”; then back to “A0”. Consecutive digits increment from
right to left, but other characters do not.
To use this feature, do the following:
1 Run a test; then press
s
.
2 Enter a fiber ID in the SAVE RESULT IN FIBER ID: box.
You may need to press
A
Edit ID to see this box.
3 Press
s
again.
4 The next time you press
s
, the incremented fiber
ID appears in the editing box. Press
s
again to use
the ID.
