7 Inspecting Fibers with a Probe
The fiber inspection probe (FIP) is used to find dirty or damaged
connectors by displaying an enlarged view of the connector surface. You
can connect a probe to your unit to view fiber ends.
Your unit supports both the probes of the FIP-400 and FIP-400B series.
Fiber inspections are made using the ConnectorMax (FIP-400) or the
ConnectorMax2 (FIP-400B) application, depending on the probe that you
use. By default, you will be prompted to select the application with which
you want to work. If you prefer, you can configure the unit to always start
your favorite application directly instead (see Selecting the FIP Startup
Application on page 63).
For more information on how to work with the probe, refer to the
ConnectorMax or ConnectorMax2 online help.
