FIP-500: new software release
Automated threshold adjustments
By “tapping” a SmarTip on the FIP-500, pass/fail thresholds will automatically be adjusted to the type of connector under test. This remarkable automation helps the technician prevent mistakes when selecting thresholds and makes fiber inspection easier than ever!
Connector image details and diagnostics
Connector images and diagnostic information now appear on screen to tell the technician what may be causing an issue.
Control center
Swipe down on the FIP-500 screen to access a smartphone-inspired control center where technicians can quickly and easily adjust screen brightness, turn the flashlight on or off and activate or deactivate WiFi and Bluetooth.
Multi-language support
The FIP-500 interface is now available in English, French, Simplified Chinese, German, Spanish, Korean and Japanese.
Live video
The FIP-500 now shows a live video image of the connector while it’s being tested.
WiFi networks
The FIP-500 can now connect to multiple WiFi networks, just like a smart device.
