Entering Measurement Core Information
Press the
Project Setup
soft key to display the following screen.
Set the project name.
A character input dialog box will open.
Set the starting core number (1 to 9900).
Set the tape number
(OFF, a-b(2), a-c(3), a-d(4), a-e(5), a-f(6),
a-g(7), a-h(8)).
This is available when the setting for creating
a project with 100 or more cores is set to OFF
(check box unselected).
Set the number of cores in each
division (8 cores, 10 cores).
You can set this when the tape number is
set to OFF.
Set the file name type
(WL + No., No. + WL, Project Name + WL +
No., No. + Project Name + WL, WL + Project
Name + No.).
Select a drive (Int. Memory, SD card,
USB memory 1, USB memory 2).
Selectable when auto save is ON.
Set the number of cores or tapes (1 to 2000).
Not selected: The selectable range of number
of cores is 1 to 100.
Selected:
The selectable range of number
of cores is 100 to 2000.
Set the label.
The same label can be entered for all cores.
See section 6.3.
Note
When you change the measurement core information, all the previous core measurements are discarded.
Setting the Project Name
Projects are group of items for measuring multi-core fibers. The default project name is “NewProject.”
In the AQ7280 internal memory, core information, measurement conditions, analysis conditions,
measured results, and the like are linked with the project name and saved. You can set up to 15
characters for the project name. For the types of strings and characters that you can use, see
section 6.3.
Note
• When you set a different project name, a new project file (.MPJ extension) and a new folder for saving
measurement result files (.SOR extension) are created. At this point, a message will appear asking you
whether you want to inherit the core information, measurement conditions, and analysis conditions from
the current project or reset them to their default values. Select whichever is appropriate..
• Initialize setting
All the project settings will be initialized.
• Takeover current setting
A project with the same settings as the current project will be 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.
