Identifying Fibers with Colors

In addition to defining a custom name for your fibers, you can also add a
color, based on the default ITU color code or on your own color codes.

A color code consists of a set of colors identified by a name and an
abbreviation. For each color code, the application displays a color table
showing the full and abbreviated color names as well as a number
indicating the sequential order of these colors in the code.

You can modify existing color codes or delete them as needed. It is also
possible to export color codes to later import them on other FTB-500 units
or computers instead of having to create the same color codes several
times. You can also use the export function as a backup for your color
codes.

To define the color code:
1.
From the main window, press Setup.

2. From the Setup dialog box, select the Cable tab.
