EXFO FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe and ConnectorMax2 - Manual (Page 51)

Fiber Inspection Probe 45
4 Inspecting Fiber Ends
Viewing the fiber inspection is done using ConnectorMax2. You can start
the application before or after connecting the probe, and the view
on-screen will be automatically updated.
Inspecting Fiber Ends (Single Fiber and
Transceiver - Fiber Receptacles)
When you connect the FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe to your unit, you
can view and inspect fiber ends right away. This direct viewing mode is
known as the Live mode.
Since the available controls depend on the probe that is connected, if you
disconnect the probe, the application will show an empty window. The
controls become available again as soon as you reconnect the probe (no
need to restart the application).
Note: When the internal temperature of the FIP-430B is too low, the probe
performs a warm-up that can take up to a minute.
You can also capture images of your inspections to include in reports, or
save them for future analyses. This is known as the Capture mode.
A digital watermark is added to the images generated by the application.
This also applies to ConnectorMax1 files converted to the ConnectorMax2
format.

Never look directly into a live fiber. It could cause serious eye
damage. Always use your FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe.
