Analyzing Captures

With the capture analysis option (FIP-425B and FIP-435B), you can perform
automated pass/fail analyses according to the criteria you have set.

Depending on the fiber probe that you have, you may have access to the
following features:

Auto centering: displays the fiber in the middle of the image. It is
compatible with all connector types and fibers with a cladding of
125 μm. The auto centering is enabled only in high magnification.
Working with the auto centering feature can be useful with standard
connectors.

Auto focus: focuses on the connector image. It is enabled only in high
magnification. The auto focus is only possible in Live Video mode, and
if the focus is not done manually. It starts automatically when you insert
an optical fiber connector. For more information, see Fiber Inspection
Probe Tip Compatibility Chart
on page 85.

Auto capture: is possible with an acceptable focus level. It is enabled if
the auto centering and auto focus are activated. The auto capture is
possible only in high magnification. For more information, see Setting
Up Auto Capture
on page 29.

Auto analysis: displays 4 inspection zones: core, cladding, adhesive,
and contact. It is enabled only in high magnification.

The analysis results are available as soon as you press and hold your finger
on the image on-screen, when you press the capture button on the probe,
or when the auto capture feature is selected. For more information, see
Setting Up Auto Capture on page 29.

The global status is displayed in the upper right part of the window after an
analysis. The Results are displayed when a capture is made. When you are
ready to inspect another fiber, you have to return to the Live Video mode
first.

The results are available as an image or in a detailed table.
