Selecting the Fiber Type
Your unit allows you to inspect singlemode and multimode fiber
connectors.
The fiber type that you select for single-fiber connectors is independent of
the one that you select for multi-fiber connectors. This means that you can
select different fiber types if necessary to better suit your test environment.
Both selections are kept in memory even when you turn the unit off.
