17 Inspecting Fibers with a Probe

The fiber inspection probe (FIP) is used to find dirty or damaged
connectors by displaying an enlarged view of the connector surface. You
can connect an FIP to your unit to view fiber ends.

Fiber inspections are made using the ConnectorMax application. Most of
the features included in the ConnectorMax application are free. However, if
you want to use specific test configurations and analyze the fibers
automatically upon capturing a picture, you must purchase the
corresponding option.

For more information, refer to the ConnectorMax online help.

To inspect fibers with a probe:
1.
Connect the probe to the probe port on the top panel of your unit, using

an adapter if necessary. You cannot connect the probe directly to the
USB port.

2. From the Main Menu, tap Probe to start the ConnectorMax application.

Note: You can access the online help by tapping the

button from the

ConnectorMax application.
