Explanation
Projects
Projects are group of items for measuring multi-core fibers. Projects include the measurement fiber’s
number of cores, measurement conditions, analysis conditions, save destination of measured results,
etc.
When you select the multi-core measurement feature, the last measurement project appears on the
main view screen. To measure using a project different from the previous project, set the project in one
of the following ways.
• Create a new project
• Load an existing project file containing project information from the internal memory or a USB
memory device (see section 16.2).
Main View Screen
The project information is displayed in a list. For details on the main view screen, see section 16.3.
• Check marks that appear in core number cells and the pass/fail judgment result display make
it easy to distinguish cores that have been measured and saved from cores that have not been
measured.
• The preview area at the bottom of the screen enables you to view the setup information and
measured waveform of the specified core number without having to open the file.
Skip
Specify “Skip” for cores that will not be measured. Core numbers set to Skip appear dimmed.
Creating a New Project
To create a new project, change the project name, and create a new project file.
Project Name
Set up to 15 characters. For the types of strings and characters that you can use, see section 18.2.
Note
• When you change the project name, a project file (.MPJ extension) and a folder for saving measurement
result files (.SOR extension) are created.
• The project file name and the folder name for saving measurement results files will both be set to the
project name that you entered.
Internal Memory
MPJ
ABCDE
ABCDE.MPJ
DATA
Folder for saving measurement result files
The newly created project file
1310nm_0001.SOR
1310nm_0002.SOR
Measurement result files (.SOR extension) are
automatically named and saved.
(For the file name type setting, see the next page.)
Entering Project Information
When you create a new project file, enter the following project information.
• Measurement core information
• Measurement conditions
• Analysis conditions
Measurement and analysis conditions are applied uniformly to all cores in the project. You cannot
set conditions separately for each core on the Instrument.
Starting core number
Set the starting core number in the following range.
1 to 9900
