Getting a Good Image

Table 5-1 describes how to solve some common problems
with FiberInspector images.
Problem
The image is indistinguishable or cannot
be focused.
The core is not visible.
The scale for measuring core sizes is
wrong and the wrong magnification
value is shown.
The image is just a black square.
The image cannot be centered.

E
Press to switch to Real Time mode before focusing and to refresh the
image.
Verify that the style of adapter tip on the probe matches the style of connector
you are inspecting and that the probe is slid all the way onto the connector.
Shine a visible light into the other end of the fiber.
B
Press Camera to set the magnification to match the FiberInspector probe's
setting (250X or 400X), or turn the smaller ring on the probe to change
magnification.
E
Press Real Time to activate the probe.
Try moving the probe around on the connector. If the image still cannot be
centered, the probe's detector may have been knocked out of alignment by
rough handling. Contact Fluke Networks for service information.
