Fiber Scope - Capture tab
What the Buttons Mean
The soft buttons on the action bar (right side of the screen) do not indicate the current state or setting. They indicate the
action that would take place if pressed. For example, if the “Analysis OFF” button is tapped, the analysis function is turned
OFF and the button toggles to show “Analysis ON”. These soft buttons should be interpreted as “Go to…” .
Freeze:
Manually freezes the image in the desired view. If the optional Auto Focus Detection feature is enabled, the test set will
automatically freeze the image when the image comes into focus. Once the image is frozen, tap the image to save it.
Analysis ON/OFF:
Turns the optional auto-analysis feature ON and OFF. If turned ON, the test set automatically analyzed the
image in real time. If the markers get in the way of seeing the picture details, turn this feature OFF and perform manual analysis.
Dots/Rectangles:
They are two ways of highlighting the different impurities found in the face of the connector. The dots tightly
contour each individual anomaly, capturing its area. In some cases, impurities or scratches that are otherwise covered by the dots
may need to be seen, so rectangles are used in this case to highlight the anomaly and still keep them visible. The selection between
dots or rectangles does not affect the area calculation or the Pass/Fail results.
Save:
The Save button appears after freezing an image. I performs the same action as tapping on the screen to save the current
image. Use the >Utilities >Files function to View the report, export to PDF format and copy to USB.
MMF/SMF:
Selects the type of connector/fiber to be analyzed and loads the correct Pass/Fail mask.
