Fig. 15 Example of incrementation of fiber code
Change Fiber Nbr
Increment the fiber number is automatically incremented at each
new file-save.
Decrement the fiber number is automatically decremented at
each new file-save
User defined Use Edit Number softkey to enter the increment/
decrement value for fiber number.
Note: to decrement the number, enter the sign «-» before the
number. Example: -1.
Min: -999 / Max: 999 / Auto: 0
No the Fiber number must not automatically modified.
Extremities are different
In some cases, it is interesting to save different information for the origin
and the extremity of the cable.
If this option is validated, it is possible, after selecting the extremity to be
edited in the
Cable Structure menu, to modify the values specific to the
cable (cable name, color coding, content of the coding), for each of these
extremities. See chapter
"Cable structure" page 29 )
To display/modify the data specific to the fiber (name and code), it is
necessary to change direction temporarily. In the "O->E" direction, the
information on the origin can be edited, and in the "E->O" direction, that
on the extremity.
Cable Id
This parameter allows to enter an identification of the cable, using the
Edition menu.
Fiber and cable parameters used in the example:
Fiber Name: ’Fiberx’
Cable Content: ’Tube/Fiber’
Max Tube: 12
Max Fiber: 24
Coding used for the fiber and the tube: TIA
Fiber N Fiber N+1
Color Code Yes No Yes No
<Fiber Name>
Fiberx24 Fiberx24 Fiberx25 Fiberx25
