FiberChekPRO software overview

FiberChekPRO is a Windows-PC software application used to determine the 

acceptability of optical fiber end faces through automated inspection and analysis. 

Used in conjunction with the P5000i microscope, FiberChekPRO will identify and 

characterize defects and contamination, and then provide a PASS or FAIL result 

according to IEC 61300-3-35 standards or customer-defined specifications.

FiberChekPRO software, download instructions, and user guide are available for 

download from 

https://fcpro.updatemyunit.net/

Install the software before connecting the P5000i microscope to the PC. 

Connect the microscope to the PC using the USB 2.0 cable.
