CONNECTOR MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

6. 

Clean connector properly

 to assure accurate measurements during the 

scanning process. It is important to clean any residue from polishing that may 
have collected on the ferrule/fiber.

7. 

Insert the connector properly into the mount

 to assure accurate 

measurements during the scanning process.

8. 

Adjust focus knob

 - Adjust the focus knob to optimize the fringe contrast over 

the entire surface.

9. 

Measure the connector

 - Press Measure button in the

 Results Tab

.

At the completion of a scan, a beep is sounded to indicate the completion of frame

capturing from the camera. Once the beep has sounded, the connector under test can
be removed from the mount and a new connector can be inserted in preparation for the
next scan. Results will be displayed when data analysis is completed.
