Managing the Fiber Centering Limit setting and marker
The Fiber Centering Limit setting lets you define a centering limit for the fiber end face, which you can either
enable or disable by showing or hiding, respectively, a marker in Live view (
Figure 2-5
). The marker indicates the
position of the fiber end face relative to the defined centering limit. This is useful when centration limits are
required for Pass/Fail tests, and provides a helpful reference when manually adjusting fiber centering (see
“Mounting fiber adapters and connectors” on page 2-4
).

Important:
While the specified fiber centering limit value is within the range of 1 to 999
µm and the option to
show the centering-limit marker is enabled, the message
Inspection Error: Fiber is too far
out of center. Please re-center the fiber
before testing
will appear on the
touchscreen (
) when you attempt to start a Pass/Fail test on a fiber end face that is not
aligned within the fiber-centering marker. Consequently, the test will not start.
