If the spliced fiber is detected as abnormal, such as "Fat", "Thin" or
"Bubble", splice failure or estimated splice loss is displayed. If no
error message is displayed but the splice looks poor by visual
inspection through the monitor, it is strongly recommended to repeat
the splice from the beginning.
z Splice point sometimes looks a bit fatter than other parts. This is
considered a normal splice, and does not affect splice loss.
z To change threshold for estimated splice loss, editor in [creating
splice mode] and see [Splice Mode] for details.
z If the estimated splice loss exceeds its set threshold, an error message
is displayed to warn the operator. The user can remove the error
message display by changing the settings in the [editing splice
parameter files] menu. Splice loss may be improved in some cases by
additional arc discharges. Press
(re-arc).
