Calibrating the Tester

Before you begin a test, the FrameScope and DualRemote pair must be calibrated. Calibration allows the FrameScope to compensate for slight anomalies in its measurement hardware or that of the companion DualRemote unit.

Calibrating for Double-Ended Testing

Method A

This method is commonly called method A or the 2-jumper method and is usually recommended for singlemode fiber.

1Insert a Fiber SmartProbe+ in the FrameScope, and a Fiber SmartProbe+ in the DualRemote. They should both be either

multimode or singlemode.

2Connect test jumpers to the two Fiber SmartProbes.

3Connect the test jumpers to each other, using two couplers. Connect the FrameScope transmitter to the DualRemote detector, and vice versa.

4Turn on the FrameScope and DualRemote.

The FrameScope detects a Fiber SmartProbe+, and displays the following window:
