Learning the NVP of a Fiber
To learn the NVP of a fiber cable sample:
1Connect a known length sample of the fiber to the Fiber SmartProbe. The sample must be at least 50 feet (15 meters) long.
2On the Fiber Tools menu, press Learn Fiber NVP. The Learn Fiber NVP screen displays. Use the Quick Setup to help configure the cable for single ended or double ended test configuration and to provide fiber construction details prior to the test. You may need to calibrate using the test jumper depending on which test configuration you choose. If you need to calibrate, use the Calibration tool on the Main Menu.
3Press the Fiber Length field. The numeric keyboard opens.
4Enter the length of the sample fiber, and press OK to close the keyboard. Make sure to use the correct length units (feet or meters.)
• When measuring two fibers, enter the average length of the two.
