the buffer tube. The Run View graph displays the EFL ratio data over the full length of
the production run. Both graphs are updated at a fixed rate of 1 measurement per
every 2.5m or 2.5ft of buffer tube length produced. As the production line runs faster,
the update rate of the graphs will increase.
At the bottom of the main display screen, there is a status bar that includes the status
message area on the left, the EFL data file path/name in the center, and the recipe
selector at the right.
Located towards the top left corner of the main display screen is the EFLTrak Tool Bar
(shown below). The tool bar displays icons that provide short cuts to certain actions
such as acquiring data. When hovering over each of the buttons with the mouse, a
tooltip is displayed in the current language selected describing the function of the
button.
Reset Length
The Reset Length button resets the length measured in both the fiber and buffer
LaserSpeed gauges. If the reset length button is pressed while EFLTrak is in record
mode, the Focus and Run View strip charts are both automatically cleared and start
new.
Record EFL
The Record EFL button starts EFLTrak calculating and recording EFL measurements.
When in the record mode, the record button is replaced by the “Stop Recording”
button.
