DISPLAY GAP ANGLE parameter
If you set the parameter DISPLAY GAP ANGLE to YES, the
splicer will stop during fine alignment and show you the gap
angles (cleave angles) and view angles (angular deviation of
fibers in camera’s viewing plane, see also figure below).
If you follow the adjacent diagram you see that the splicer
first pauses and shows you the view angle offsets, where:
L VIEW ANGLE is the view angle offset in the lower view, and
R VIEW ANGLE is the view angle offset in the upper view.
You then press the button to see the gap angles, where:
L GAP ANGLE is the cleave angle of the left fiber, and
R GAP ANGLE is the cleave angle of the right fiber.
By pressing the button again the splicer resumes the
splicing procedure.

Definitions of angles
Counter-clockwise angles (eg. a
left
and b
left
) are
measured as positive.
Clockwise angles (eg. a
right
and b
right
) are mea-
sured as negative.
