BASIC OPERATION - Splice evaluation
After the splicing sequence is complete, the splicer estimates
the splice loss and displays it in the mode field.

This option is
not
available if you are using the hot core or the
small core alignment process (Program 05, in the case of the
pre-defined programs).
With all other splicing processes, if you judge that the splice
loss is too high, you can try to lower it by re-fusing. The
splicer will present this option to you in the mode field, and
you effectuate it by pressing FUSE again.

Do not re-fuse more than once, because multiple re-fusion
can result in reduced splice strength and/or increased
splice attenuation.

You should also visually evaluate the splice. The sequence of
images available includes two cold (upper and lower view)
and two stored hot images, taken during splicing. You can
scroll through all of them by repeatedly pressing VIEW.
Image evaluation shows you the result of the splicing proce-
dure, as well as, what happened during the splicing process,
and is a particularly rich source of information for trouble-
shooting. On the next page there are some tips as to what
you should look for.
The FSU 995 FA also offers more advanced functionality in
relation to hot image analysis, and if you are interested in
using it, you should read page 60 in Advanced Operation.
