Inspecting Fiber Ends (Single Fiber and Transceiver - Fiber Receptacles)

The focus indicator, which is displayed in the upper left part of the main
window, indicates whether the current view is optimized for a capture. A
green indicator shows a picture that can be captured and analyzed.
Analysis will be more difficult with a yellow indicator, and impossible with
a red indicator. A vertical black bar displays the peak focus level.

Note: The peak focus level is shown only when the auto focus sequence is

complete.

For more information on analysis, see Analyzing Captures on page 64.

To inspect fiber ends (single fiber) in Live mode:
1.
Install a probe tip (see Changing the Fiber Inspection Probe Tip on

page 9).

2. Insert the fiber into the probe tip.

3. Connect your Fiber Inspection Probe to your unit. On an FTB-500,

connect the probe to the lower USB port located on the front of the
unit.
