Figure 22 Splice Process List
The next step is to load a set of fibers into the glass processor. Place the fibers into the fiber holding blocks utilizing
the transfer inserts described in Section: 3.4.2. Then press the
Load Fibers button to bring the fibers into the correct
viewing position. While the transfer clamp inserts hold a very accurate position, using different cleave lengths will
require different load positions. To modify the load positions, simply right-click on the
Load Fibers icon (or
Configuration Menu – Mechanical - Load Fiber Positions) and input a new set of positions.
Once the fibers are in position, the user can simply press the One Button Process button to execute the entire
process. The steps associated to the One Button Process will vary with each splice file. The steps for a basic splice
are shown in the Splice Process List. (View Menu - Splice Process List)
The fibers are focused, aligned, gapped, and spliced through an automated succession of processes. The final step
brings the camera back into view so the user can view the completed splice. During the splice, both fibers are
moved from loading position and brought closer during the Gap and Splice processes. Simply unload the splice and
press the Load Fibers button before placing a new set of fibers to prevent the freshly loaded tips from contacting
one another.
5.10.2 Modifying the Splice Routine
The user can modify the process sequence of the One Button Process by right clicking on the One Button Process
button. The Process List in Figure 23 shows the current splice routine as well as the available processes and
commands that can be added to the routine.
