6 To change the index of refraction (n) for your custom
fiber, select n for a wavelength; then use the editing
screen to enter a value for n. Press
N when you are
done.
7 From the Custom screen, press N when you are done
creating the fiber type.
The tester saves the custom fiber type in the Custom
list, with asterisks (*) before and after the name.
Creating a Custom Fiber Limit
You can create up to nine custom fiber limits. A custom
fiber limit includes the following settings:
• Custom limit name
• Baseline limit for default values
• Maximum fiber length
• Maximum loss at the wavelengths required by the
baseline limit.
To create a custom fiber limit:
1 Turn the rotary switch to SETUP; then select Fiber.
2 Select Test Limit, press J More; then select Custom.
3 Press J Create.
4 On the Custom screen, select Name; then use the text
editing screen to enter a name for your custom fiber
limit. Press
N when you are done.
5 On the Custom screen, select Use Default Values From,
select a limit group; then select a fiber limit as a
baseline for your custom limit.
6 The Custom screen shows other settings on multiple
tabs for the fiber test limit. Use AD and
H to select settings to change. Use BC to move
among the tabs.
See page 7-14 for details on fiber test parameters.
7 From the Custom screen, press N when you are done
creating the limit.
The tester saves the custom limit in the Custom list,
with asterisks (*) before and after the name.
