Setting up Pass/Fail tests
Setting up Pass/Fail tests
The FVAm microscope provides factory-set options you can use to set up Pass/Fail tests. Factory-set options cover
the following parameters:
•
Analysis profiles, which define Pass/Fail thresholds for fiber types
•
Connector definitions, which define fiber configuration
•
Optical settings, which define lighting and sizing calibration applied during inspection
To set up the FVAm microscope for performing Pass/Fail tests, you can use either FiberChekPRO or, if available,
the touchscreen and onboard controls to select the appropriate analysis profile for the fiber connectors or
transceiver modules to be tested, and then the appropriate connector definition.
Note:
FiberChekPRO provides tools that let you create custom options. For information, about creating
customized analysis profiles and optical settings, refer to the
FiberChekPRO Automated Fiber Inspection
and Analysis Software User Manual
. For information about creating customized connector definitions,
“Managing custom connector definitions” on page 3-9
.
