Creating and managing jobs

Creating and managing jobs
The Job Manager tool enables you to manage Pass/Fail data that is saved to the current (active) job on the INX 760 microscope, facilitating access to data when required. You can create and add multiple jobs to the Job Manager; however, only one job can be active on the microscope at any time.
Each job created with the Job Manager tool on the INX 760 microscope has a unique ID that is comprised of a base name and a three-digit number (for example, Job-001). Saved data is automatically added to the current job and assigned a unique test label (ID) associated with the job. The test ID is also comprised of a base name and a three-digit number (for example, Fiber-001).
Note: If the Auto-increment inspection setting is set to On Save, the test ID will automatically increment to the next available number when another set of data is saved to the same job. For more information, see “Managing inspection settings” on page 3-12.
Use the Job Manager tool for any of the following tasks:
· “Creating a job” on page 3-6
· “Changing the current job” on page 3-7
· “Setting the base name and number for a new job” on page 3-8
· “Deleting a job” on page 3-10
Notes: · For information about accessing Pass/Fail test results saved to a job, see “Accessing saved Pass/Fail data” on
page 4-6. · Jobs created with the VIAVI Mobile Tech app can be uploaded to the INX 760 microscope (see “Using the VIAVI
Mobile Tech app” on page 5-1). You can use and manage these jobs as you would jobs created on the microscope.

Creating and managing jobs

Creating a job

The INX 760 microscope enables you to quickly create a job that uses the same base name as the last job created. To ensure that the job ID is unique, the number of the ID is automatically incremented to the next available.

Note:

Although you can use the same base name for multiple job IDs, the number assigned to it cannot be reused. Therefore, the job ID number automatically increments to the next available number when you begin creating a job that reuses a base name. For information about creating a job with a new base name, see “Setting the base name and number for a new job” on page 3-8.

Step 1. Select Job Manager on the Main Menu, and then select Create New Job.

The Job Manager contains a list of jobs available on the microscope. The current job appears at the top of the list with a check mark beside the job ID.
Step 2. Select Create New Job.
Step 3. On the Create Job screen, select Create to create a job using the Job Name and Test Label Scheme provided by the microscope.

The new job is added to the Job Manager and automatically set as the current job. Step 4. Short press the Autofocus/Inspection trigger to return to the Home screen. Note: You can also access the Create Job screen by selecting Start New Job on the Status Tray on the Home
screen.

Pass/Fail tests and managing results

Requirements for a Pass/Fail test

Requirements for a Pass/Fail test

Pass/Fail tests inspect fiber connectors against preconfigured pass criteria for the active analysis profile. For information about profiles, see “Managing test configuration settings” on page 3-11.
Note: A Pass or Fail result applies to the entire connector. This means that if only one fiber in the array of a duplex or MPO connector fails to meet the preconfigured pass criteria, the test will return a Fail result for the entire connector. To achieve a Pass result, every fiber in the array must meet the pass criteria.

Table 4-1: Before you begin a Pass/Fail test

Ensure that…

The correct fiber inspection tip for the test is properly installed on the INX 760 microscope.

“Installing a fiber inspection tip” on page 2-6

The required fiber adapter is installed on the inspection tip “Mounting a fiber connector” on page 2-8 and a clean fiber connector is mounted on the adapter.

Starting a Pass/Fail test
Step 1. Review “Requirements for a Pass/Fail test” on page 4-2. Step 2. Select Start Test on the Home screen, or long press the Autofocus/Inspection trigger.
The purple circulating LED lights while the test is performed. When the test is completed, the pass or fail message is briefly displayed, followed by the Inspected view of the fiber end face.

Note: If the Auto-save inspection setting is set to If Pass or Always, the test results are automatically saved to the current job, based on the enabled setting. The Save tool becomes unavailable after results are saved.
Step 3. Do any of the following: Use the Magnification High/Low tool to increase or decrease magnification of the fiber end face. Access analysis tools for the test result. See “Working with Pass/Fail test results” on page 4-4. Select Save (if required) to save the test results for later analysis. Select Go To Previous or Go To Next to scroll to the test ID for another tested fiber connector. Note: If there are no test results assigned to the next test ID scrolled to, the Home screen automatically displays.

Pass/Fail test results for MPO and duplex fiber connectors
Inspected views for MPO and duplex fiber connectors provide tools for navigating captured images.
Navigating MPO fiber connector test results Inspected view for an MPO fiber connector shows the fiber array and the Pass/Fail results for each fiber in the array. For example, the MPO fiber connector shown in Figure 4-1 contains eight fibers, and the pass/fail array shows that all fibers met the pass criteria (green).
To access the analysis tools (Show/Hide Overlays, Show Test Data) for a fiber, select a fiber number in the pass/ fail array.

Navigating duplex fiber connector test results Inspected view for a duplex fiber connector shows the left and right fibers and the Pass/Fail results for each fiber. For example, the left (L) and right (R) fibers in the duplex fiber connector shown in Figure 4-2 failed to meet all the pass criteria (red).
To access the analysis tools (Show/Hide Overlays, Show Test Data) for the left or right fiber, tap a fiber.
