Retesting a Fiber
Retesting a Fiber
Sometimes, a capture will show a fail status, but it could only be because
the fiber is dirty and you want to clean it and test it again. However, if you
have saved the file, the next capture you take will be incremented instead
of replacing the current file.
In order to avoid this incrementation and end up with unwanted files, you
can test a fiber again.
In single-fiber connector mode, retesting a fiber is only possible on the
most recent capture. In multiple-fiber connector mode, you can reset a
specific fiber within the capture, or reset the whole connector.
To retest a fiber:
1. After the capture, return to the Live mode.
2. From the main window, click Reset.
3. If you are in multiple-fiber mode, select whether you want to reset a
specific fiber, or the whole connector. If you reset a specific fiber,
select it in the provided list.
4. Capture the file again.
Note: The reset function will only become available again in the main window
once you save your file (single-fiber test mode only).
