Control parameters
The control parameters are the param-
eters that control the specific operations
of each of the splicing processes, and
the following tables organizes them
accordingly.
Observe that two of the control param-
eters for Small core alignment, MAX.
ECCENTRICITY and ACCEPTABLE
OFFSET (see next page), have multiple
functions. The figures on the right shows
you how to set these parameters.
For more details on the control , you can
also refer to the preceding section on
splicing processes (p. 28-35).
ADVANCED OPERATION - Splicing program structure: Parameters
ACCEPTABLE OFFSET value 1.3
PULLING DISTANCE
( 1.3 x 10 = 13 mm )
ACCEPTABLE
OFFSET
( 0.3 + 1.0= 1.3 )
Setting the MAX. ECCENTRICITY parameter
when running the Small core alignment process
Parameter Function Range Default
MAX.ECCENTRICITY Max core to cladding 0.00 to 2.99 mm1.0 mm
eccentricity
ACCEPTABLE OFFSET Max acceptable core offset 0.0 to 0.9 mm0.3 mm
RTC CURRENT Heating current for inital 6.0 to 29.9 mA 11 mA
RTC images
INDEX LIMIT Min acceptable hot fiber index 0.0 to 9.99 0.4
THRESHOLD TYPE Comparison method for hot 0 to 5 0
fiber indexes (see also p. 32)
0 = Threshold type test
1 = Difference
2 = Left index
3 = Right index
4 = Higher index
5 = Higher start
LOSS FACTOR Adjusts splice loss estimation 0.00 to 9.99 0.35
Hot core alignment
Mode field matching
Note that you will revoke the small core alignment process and invoke the hot core align-
ment process if you set MAX. ECCENTRICITY to a value that is greater than 2.9 mm. Also, if
you set ACCEPTABLE OFFSET to a value that is greater than 0.9 mm, you will set the PULL-
ING DISTANCE parameter and thereby revoke the pulling procedure.

GAP CLOSE INTENSITY

ECF FACTOR
