Inspecting Fiber Ends with ConnectorMax
When you connect the Fiber Inspection Probe to your unit (or computer via
a USB adapter) you can view and inspect fiber ends right away. This direct
viewing mode is known as the Live mode.
To inspect fiber ends in live mode:
1. Install a probe tip (see Changing the Fiber Inspection Probe Tip on
page 13).
2. Insert the fiber into the probe tip.
3. Connect your Fiber Inspection Probe to the USB video adapter, and
then connect the USB video adapter to your unit.
4. Start ConnectorMax if it is not already started.
5. Adjust the image focus to have the best view of the fiber end.
6. If the fiber end is dirty, remove it from the probe, clean it and
reinspect it.
7. Once you are satisfied with the inspection, go to the next fiber or turn
off the unit.
