Scale:
Displays the calibrated measurement values on the Results tab as well as a marker for each value
(black arrow) along with the currently-chosen Pass/ Fail limits for that measurement type in color-coded
scale form underneath the measurement value. The color coding is Green or White for Passing section
and Red for Failing section.
•
Show Regions:
Select this option to show the measurement areas (dashed circles in illustration below) as
overlays on the Live View after scan completion.
o
Region of Interest (ROI):
Specifies the diameter in microns of a circular window from the center
of the fiber to the outer most ring in the figure above. The allowable range for the ROI is from 170
to 500 µm (Default value: 250 µm). The ROI is used to calculate the Radius of Curvature. To obtain
the fitting area as defined by the IEC, the extraction area is subtracted from the ROI.
o
Extraction Area:
Specifies a circular portion within the ROI (centered at the fiber center and
includes the fiber end face region and the adhesive region) which will be extracted from the data.
This extracted data will not be used in the quantitative analysis of the Radius of Curvature. (Default
value: 140 µm)
o
Averaging Area:
Specifies the averaging area in the center of the fiber used to calculate the fiber
height. (Default value: 50 µm). NOTE: For measuring Multimode-fiber connectors, the User must
change this parameter before measurement to 100 µm (or load a previously saved Settings file
with that value already preconfigured).
